24.55 Ct. Jade from China

One beautiful translucent 24.55 carat freeform shape green jade, dimensions 32.30 x 21.13 x 4.07 mm, presents an outstanding combination of natural beauty and usable size. The piece is carved into a freeform design rather than a standard faceted cut, allowing the natural flow of the material to be showcased, and its surface has been brought to an excellent polish that enhances both luster and tactile appeal. Clarity has been graded eye clean at eye level, which means that under normal viewing conditions no significant inclusions interfere with the stone s visual charm. Color shows a pleasing medium intensity green, with enough saturation to read as vivid yet balanced enough to remain wearable in a variety of jewelry designs. Importantly, this jade is untreated, with no enhancement, which preserves its natural structure, color distribution, and long term stability. The origin is China, and the combination of translucency, eye clean clarity, and substantial 24.55 carat weight makes this freeform jade a rare find in the current market.

When compared to many of the other green jades available today, this specimen stands out for several reasons. Many market pieces are either heavily included, more opaque, or have undergone treatments such as bleaching, dyeing, or polymer impregnation to simulate translucency and improve appearance. Treated stones can look attractive initially, but they do not age in the same way as natural, untreated material, and their long term value and durability are often compromised. Other jades on the market with similar color intensity will frequently be smaller in size or less clean internally, resulting in a trade off between weight and optical quality. By contrast, this freeform green jade maintains a rare balance of significant carat weight, eye clean clarity, and natural translucency. Carved pieces from lower grade material tend to lose definition and polish quickly, whereas an untreated, well polished translucent jade will retain its carved details and sheen for generations. The medium intensity green of this stone gives it broader versatility than the very high intensity emerald like greens that can be limiting in certain settings, and it also avoids the premium pricing of rare imperial hues while offering superior natural character compared to common commercial grade material.

From a value and design perspective, this freeform jade is especially attractive to collectors and designers who prioritize authenticity and longevity. The freeform shape and carved surface invite use as a statement pendant, a focal bead, or a bespoke set piece where the natural contours of the material can be accentuated in metalwork or woven settings. Because the stone is eye clean and translucent, light passes through and animates the internal color distribution, creating depth and movement that flatly polished or opaque pieces cannot reproduce. The excellent polish highlights the carving and the surface smoothness, making it comfortable to wear and visually engaging under different lighting conditions. For buyers seeking an investment grade piece, the absence of enhancement adds a layer of assurance regarding conservation and future resale, as the market consistently favors natural, untreated gemstones. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize authenticity and responsible sourcing, and this piece reflects our commitment to offering stones that combine aesthetic appeal, practical use, and lasting value. If you are comparing options, consider that an untreated, translucent, eye clean 24.55 carat green jade of this size and finish is uncommon, and it represents a superior choice for anyone who wants both beauty and integrity in their jade purchase.
