2.95 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

A singular opportunity awaits the collector who seeks an object of quiet power and refined provenance, a translucent green jade of exceptional presence offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company. This is a 2.95 carat round cabochon, measuring 9.98 x 10.08 x 3.43 mm, sourced from Burma, Myanmar, and preserved in its natural state with no enhancement. Its clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and its medium color intensity reveals a balanced, living green that is neither shy nor overstated. The excellent polish elevates the stone beyond simple color, producing a soft inner glow and a mirror bright highlight on each curve, a signature of careful cutting and exacting polish. Stones of this size and untreated origin are rare to market, and this piece will appeal to the discerning few who prize authenticity, provenance, and the kind of tactile beauty that becomes more personal with wear.

In hand and under light the cabochon form brings this jade to life, offering a satin smooth surface and a luminous translucency that permits depth without full transparency. The very slightly included clarity keeps the appearance clean to the eye, while the polish produces a circular specular reflection at high angles and a rounded, velvety sheen when viewed face on. The medium color intensity is evenly distributed across the table, creating a balanced visual weight that reads as elegant and wearable, whether mounted as a statement ring center or set into a bespoke pendant. The dimensions are ideal for custom settings that demand a presence on the finger without overwhelming a design, and the cabochon silhouette makes the most of the stone s light return, encouraging a soft halo of reflected light that seems to emanate from within.

When compared to other gemstones in its category, this Burmese green jade presents a distinctive reflective character. Unlike high transparency jadeite of imperial grade which can sometimes exhibit a glassier, more vitreous luster, this cabochon displays a warmer, waxy to silky glow that reads as more intimate and serene. Against nephrite, which often shows a denser, more fibrous sheen, this stone has a cleaner, more homogeneous surface reflection, thanks in part to the excellent polish and the compact granular structure typical of fine Burmese jade. Against chalcedony and chrysoprase, which can show very strong surface reflections and a more glasslike brilliance, this jade retains a softer, inner light rather than relying solely on surface sparkle. Compared with faceted transparent gems such as emerald or green tourmaline, which emphasize brilliance and scintillation through faceting, the cabochon cut of this jade favors depth and a steady, enveloping glow. This is a stone that rewards close looking, revealing subtle changes in saturation and luster as the angle of light shifts and as it moves across the skin.

Owning this jade from The Natural Gemstone Company is to claim a rare union of origin, condition, and presentation, a piece for those who demand genuineness as well as aesthetic refinement. Its Burmese provenance, untreated nature, and carefully judged clarity make it ideal for commissioning a one off creation, reserved jewelry releases, or inclusion in a curated collection that values scarcity over mass replication. We invite you to view the photographs and to speak with our specialists about mounting options that will best celebrate the cabochon s rounded form and internal radiance. Because pieces like this appear only intermittently, consideration and swift decision will secure an exceptional example of natural Burmese green jade for someone who understands rarity as both an investment and an intimate possession.
