12.94 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Burma (Myanmar)

There is a certain timeless authority to Burmese jade that spans continents and centuries, and this exquisite 12.94 carat oval green jade embodies that legacy with serene confidence. Mined from the storied deposits of Burma, Myanmar, this opaque gem carries the weight of tradition in every grain, a testament to the craftsmen and cultures that have revered jade as a symbol of virtue and protection. The proportions are noble and wearable, with an oval shape that measures 20.15 x 15.15 x 4.74 mm, a cabochon cut that honors the stone, and a surface that invites touch. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this piece comes to the collector and the connoisseur as more than a stone, it is a fragment of history polished into a modern jewel. The cabochon form nods to ancient preferences, while the medium color intensity gives the green a quiet strength that does not shout, it speaks. In sunlight and under candle glow alike, the stone reads as both heirloom and contemporary treasure, ready to anchor a bespoke setting or to sit proudly as the focal point of a classic design. The story of Burmese jade is braided with myths and royal patronage, and this gem makes that narrative available to the wearer in a palpable and wearable way.

What elevates this jade beyond its origins is the flawless way its quality enhances beauty from every angle, a quality that is evident to the unaided eye. The clarity grade is eye clean evaluated at eye level, presenting a surface that is free from intrusive inclusions and allowing the internal texture and tone to show without distraction. With a polish that has been brought to an excellent finish, the cabochon gracefully captures and diffuses light, creating a soft internal glow that changes with the viewer and the moment. The medium color intensity provides depth without heaviness, permitting subtle veining and natural patterning to surface and recede like an ancient landscape seen through mist. There has been no enhancement to this gem, a purity that will appeal to those who value natural character and geological truth. The tactile experience is part of the revelation, as the smooth dome sits comfortably against skin and radiates a calm, steady warmth. From edge to crown the workmanship is precise, every contour considered so that the stone reads beautifully from the profile, and so that the broad face presents a balanced field of color and light. For collectors who prize authenticity and the gentle drama of natural stones, this jade offers a rare combination of provenance, condition, and presence.

For those who enjoy pairing stones with complementary contrasts, consider the luminous clarity of a White Opal to accompany this green jade in a paired design that marries earth and sky. The cool, milky fire of White Opal will set off the jade green and create a dialogue between translucent play of color and the solid, serene tone of the cabochon. As a single statement ring, as a pendant that rests over the heart, or as one element in a multi gem composition, this oval jade moves effortlessly between roles, lending gravitas to any design. The dimensions 20.15 x 15.15 x 4.74 mm are ideal for classic settings that implement bezel or half bezel for security, while still allowing the gem to be read at a glance as an objet d art. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this stone with the confidence that its Burmese origin, eye clean clarity, medium color intensity, excellent polish, and lack of enhancement will meet the standards of discerning buyers who seek enduring elegance. This jade is not merely fashionable, it is an heirloom in waiting, a piece that will develop its own history as it is worn and passed on, a reminder that true beauty gains meaning with time.
