25.37 Ct. Green Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This one opaque green jade bead from Burma Myanmar presents a combination of size, natural character, and finish that supports long term preservation as an heirloom. The bead weighs 25.37 carats and measures 15.07 by 15.03 by 15.03 millimeters, a substantial dimension for a bead shape that lends itself to multiple settings and uses. The piece is drilled for stringing and precise mounting, and it has a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which is consistent with natural jade and contributes to its individual character. Color intensity reads as medium across the surface, and the polish is excellent, producing a smooth surface that reflects light evenly. There has been no enhancement to this stone, and its Burmese origin situates it within a well respected historical source for quality jade. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present these factual attributes so that owners and appraisers can document provenance and physical data clearly for future generations.

A gemstone becomes a generational heirloom when it combines durability, verifiable origin, and thoughtful presentation, and this bead meets those criteria. Jade is known for toughness, and in a bead form with a deep polish and no treatments this piece is well suited to long term wear and display, whether incorporated into a pendant, ring, or a single focus strand. The drilled cut facilitates secure mounting or incorporation into traditional bead work, while the slightly included clarity and natural color variations affirm its untreated state and make it a tangible record of natural formation. Proper setting by a skilled jeweler, routine inspection of the drill hole and mount, and careful storage away from extreme chemicals and impacts will preserve the finish and form. Documenting the weight, measurements, clarity assessment, and Burmese origin alongside an appraisal from The Natural Gemstone Company will help maintain provenance and support inheritance planning. Over time this bead can accumulate layers of family history, maintaining both aesthetic and sentimental value, and serve as a durable, verifiable object to be passed down with clear, recorded specifications.
