10.69 Ct. Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This piece is a finely carved, opaque green jade weighing 10.69 carats, with dimensions 27.40 by 16.55 by 3.35 mm, presented in a fancy outline that follows the floral motif. The cutter employed a carved florals cut executed in moderate to high relief, with deliberate removal of material to establish petal and foliate planes that follow the natural grain of the jade. The low translucency and dense interlocking crystal structure typical of high quality Burmese jade were respected in the layout, producing crisp negative spaces and a smooth, continuous profile. Surface finishing is excellent, the polish yielding a velvety, near waxy luster that enhances the intense green saturation without creating optical overgloss, the result of controlled lapidary pressure and progressive grit sequences. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, the visible features consisting of fine pinpoint mineral particulates and minimal linear veining that remain confined to the lower relief areas and do not compromise structural integrity or the efficacy of a bezel or flush mounting.

Color intensity is intense, with a predominantly vivid green distribution across the carved anatomy, including subtle internal color zoning that accentuates petal delineation when viewed with raking light. No enhancement is reported, this jade is natural and unaltered, sourced from Burma Myanmar, and presents the characteristic robust body tone associated with quality deposits in that region. Given the shallow profile at 3.35 mm, the piece is ideally suited for a pendant, brooch, or as a focal in a statement inlay where the carving plane remains visible, and it will respond well to a protected bezel setting to preserve the carved edges.
