2.89 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

One exquisite piece offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a 2.89 carat, round shape green jade, presented in a classic cabochon cut. The stone measures 9.62 x 9.84 x 3.55 mm, and its proportions have been selected to deliver an elegant profile whether set in a ring, pendant, or cuff. This jade is opaque with an intense color intensity that reads as a rich, saturated green under natural and artificial light. The cabochon cut emphasizes the gem's uniform hue and smooth surface, while the excellent polish provides the high gloss finish that buyers expect from premium jade. As you evaluate this gem, you will immediately note that its optical presentation is both lively and controlled, a balance that signals thoughtful cutting and careful material selection by experienced lapidaries.

From a gemological perspective, the clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which for collectors and connoisseurs translates into minimal internal characteristics that do not detract from the gem’s visual appeal. The inclusions are subtle enough that they are not apparent in casual viewing, yet they serve as natural signatures of authenticity for an educated buyer. Origin is Burma Myanmar, a region historically and contemporaneously associated with the finest jadeite material. While jade from this provenance is highly prized, the additional advantage of this specific piece is that it is reported as no enhancement, meaning the color and surface quality are entirely natural. Untreated Burmese jade with intense color and minimal visible inclusions is uncommon in the market, and this combination enhances both its aesthetic and intrinsic value.

The cabochon cut and the excellent polish work together to create a surface that appears flawless from many angles, a quality that is particularly important in opaque material where surface luster conveys much of the gem’s presence. The gentle dome of the cabochon allows light to skim across the surface producing even reflections and a deep, velvety appearance to the green. The stone’s polish is finely executed, eliminating any visible tool marks and providing mirror like highlights that contrast with the rich body color. Because the clarity is very slightly included at eye level rather than heavily included, the jade’s surface reads as smooth and uninterrupted, reinforcing a perception of flawlessness. From the top view the round outline is symmetrically shaped, and from the side the low domed height of 3.55 mm maintains a pleasing profile that will sit comfortably in a variety of settings while maximizing the optical depth of the color.

For the educated buyer considering this 2.89 carat Burmese green jade, provenance, untreated status, and the combination of intense color with very slight inclusions make this a compelling acquisition. The dimensions make it versatile for both classic and contemporary settings, and the cabochon form is ideally suited to showcase the stone’s inherent qualities. At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize transparent descriptions and accurate grading so clients can make informed decisions based on measurable attributes. This jade is an excellent candidate for a permanent jewelry piece intended for daily wear, provided it is set to protect the dome, and it also holds appeal as a collectible investment due to its natural origin and lack of enhancement. If you have specific design intentions or require additional documentation regarding origin or grading, we will assist in providing the necessary details and recommendations for mounting and care, ensuring this fine Burmese jade performs beautifully for years to come.
