20.70 Ct. Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This oval cabochon of green jade evokes the long and layered history that has elevated jade above mere ornament to a symbol of legacy and refined taste, a continuity that stretches from ancient courts to modern collections, a continuity that resonates with those who value tradition. We present a substantial 20.70 carat opaque jade, shaped into an elegant oval measuring 18.01 by 12.97 by 10.29 millimeters, with a smooth dome that captures the light with an excellent polish. The medium intense green sits squarely within the classic spectrum that has been prized for centuries, and the stone shows very slightly included clarity when evaluated at eye level, inclusions that testify to its natural formation and add character rather than detract from its presence. This piece originates from Burma, also known as Myanmar, a region whose deposits have produced some of the most storied jades in the world, and it is offered unmodified, with no enhancement, an increasingly rare attribute in an age of treated gems.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we are committed to responsible sourcing, and this jade reflects that pledge in every facet of its journey from mine to collector. Burma Myanmar has a complex history of mining and trade, and conscious consumers seek assurances that their treasures are procured ethically and transparently, without contributing to environmental degradation or social harm. We work with partners who prioritize fair labor practices, local stewardship, and accountable supply chains, and we insist on documentation and on the absence of treatment so that what you acquire is a true natural stone. The cabochon cut is a time honored form for jade, one that honors the material by presenting its color and depth without masking the gem under heavy faceting, and the stone’s very slightly included clarity and tiny dark mineral specks are honest signatures of its origin. These features speak to authenticity, and they align with a collector who prizes natural specimens over laboratory altered alternatives.

For the conscious collector this jade is more than an accessory, it is a parcel of cultural continuity and an heirloom in waiting, an item to be worn, admired, and passed down. Its dimensions and weight make it ideal for a classic signet style ring, a bold pendant, or a bespoke piece where craftsmanship can frame its gentle dome and emphasize its luminous mid tone, without obscuring the stone’s innate character. Choosing a piece that is free of enhancement affirms a commitment to integrity and long term value, and it allows jewelers to design settings that complement rather than compete with the gem. The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to provide provenance information, guidance for custom settings, and thoughtful care advice to ensure that this jade continues to glow for generations. When placed into a collection that honors history and values, this 20.70 carat Burmese jade does more than complete a wardrobe, it becomes a living piece of tradition, a mindful acquisition for those who seek beauty paired with conscience.
