16.58 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This listing describes a single, translucent green jade, pear shape, weighing 16.58 carats, with exact dimensions of 30.56 by 15.04 by 4.72 millimeters, cut as a cabochon with a smooth domed surface and an excellent polish. The cutting style emphasizes the depth of color and translucency, producing a vivid medium to deep green that is evenly distributed across the stone, with only minor natural veining and pinpoint inclusions that are typical of jade and that do not detract from the overall eye appeal. In terms of gemstone grading, key factors for jade are color, translucency, texture, and finish, and this piece scores highly in each category, offering strong color intensity and a clean, fine grained texture as visible under magnification. The cabochon form enhances luster and highlights the stone body, making it ideal for pendants and statement pieces where light transmission and surface sheen are most important. No enhancement is present, which preserves the natural character and long term value of the material.

Origin is Burma Myanmar, a historically important source of high quality jadeite, and provenance is an important consideration for educated buyers because Burmese material often commands a premium due to its reputation for vivid hues and favorable crystal structure. Because this jade is natural and untreated, with no dye, no impregnation, and no heat alteration, it is positioned as an investment quality specimen for collectors and for custom high end jewelry. For design considerations, the elongated pear shape and substantial carat weight make this stone suitable for bezel or open backed settings where the translucence can be appreciated, and the durable nature of jade lends itself to daily wear when properly set. For clients seeking complementary materials, we also offer White Opal options, White Opal being a body color classification characterized by a light base tone with potential play of color, which pairs attractively with green jade in contrast settings. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind accurate description and responsible sourcing, and we welcome inquiries regarding certification, matching pairs, or bespoke mounting recommendations, to assist buyers in making a confident, informed purchase.
