11.14 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This 11.14 carat oval green jade presents as a textbook example of precision cabochon work, with dimensions of 19.85 by 14.96 by 4.71 millimeters and an opaque body that emphasizes mass tone and color saturation. The cutting style is a classic oval cabochon, with a carefully controlled dome profile that balances a pleasing visual rise with structural stability for setting, the dome height calibrated to the thickness to avoid edge thinning while preserving depth of color. Faceting is intentionally absent to showcase the monolithic color characteristics of jade, and the lapidary sequence is evident in the even symmetry, smooth girdle transitions, and the absence of mechanical polish lines. The polish is excellent, producing a clean, slightly waxy to vitreous luster that is characteristic of fine jade cabochons and that maximizes surface reflectivity without overstating translucency. Proportions and weight distribution are consistent with high quality hand finishing, and the surface shows minimal surface-reaching inclusions, confirming the material was selected for its homogeneity before cutting.

Color and origin are of particular interest to connoisseurs, the specimen displaying a vivid green intensity with even saturation across most of the table and a subtle localized color concentration near one edge that contributes character without compromising overall uniformity. The jade is unenhanced, with no treatments or dyeing reported, assuring collectors and gemologists of its natural state. Provenance is Burma also known as Myanmar, a source long associated with premium jade material, and this piece exemplifies the market preference for naturally colored Burmese jade. For the discerning buyer this cabochon is ideal for a bespoke bezel or closed back mount to preserve its opaque presentation and to protect the polished dome, or for inclusion in a curated cabinet of notable specimens where origin, cut, and untreated status are primary criteria. The combination of precise cabochon geometry, vivid color grade, excellent polish, and documented lack of enhancement makes this 11.14 carat oval an exceptional addition to any high end gemstone collection, offered with confidence by The Natural Gemstone Company.
