2.87 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This listing presents a single, natural green jade, round in shape, weighing 2.87 carats, with precise dimensions of 9.97 by 9.91 by 3.36 mm. The gem is fashioned as a cabochon, exhibiting an opaque body with intense green color intensity and an excellent polish that yields a clean, reflective surface. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, meaning inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the overall visual impact when viewed without magnification. The piece is untreated, with no enhancement reported, and its documented origin is Burma Myanmar. This example is offered through The Natural Gemstone Company, reflecting our emphasis on accurately described, responsibly sourced material.

In the context of available green jade options, this specimen is unusual in two important respects, size and color. At nearly 10 mm in diameter and close to 3 carats, a round, intensely colored, untreated cabochon from Burma is uncommon on the market, where similar intense tones are frequently found in smaller dimensions or in material that has been dyed or otherwise treated to enhance color. Many commercially available green jades of comparable hue are enhanced to achieve uniform saturation, or they present only modest depth of color at larger sizes. By contrast this cabochon combines a true, strong green saturation with a dimension that permits confident use in a variety of jewelry designs, while retaining its natural state. The uniformity of tone across the dome and the way the light interacts with the polished surface contribute to a visual presence that few untreated pieces of this size and color achieve, making it a notable selection for collectors and designers seeking authenticity and rarity.

From a gemological and practical perspective, the cabochon form maximizes the perception of color and smoothness in opaque to semiopaque jades, and this example demonstrates that principle effectively. The symmetry of the round cut, the careful dome height relative to diameter, and the fine polish produce consistent reflection and an appealing, even luster. The very slight inclusions are typical of natural jade and, in this specimen, are unobtrusive at arm s length and in mounted settings. Origin from Burma adds provenance that many connoisseurs value, as Burmese sources are historically associated with some of the finest green material, though each piece must always be considered on its individual merits. The stone s toughness and resilience to daily wear make it suitable for rings, pendants, and other jewelry forms that place a premium on stability and long term durability.

The Natural Gemstone Company offers this green jade with full disclosure of its attributes and measured specifications, enabling informed decisions for both buyers and designers. The combination of an intense, untreated green, near 10 mm round dimensions, cabochon execution, and meticulous polish results in a stone that stands apart from the more common offerings in this category. For collectors seeking a naturally colored Burmese jade that balances presence with integrity, or for artisans requiring a reliably durable, visually strong focal gem, this piece represents a rare and well documented option.
