3.05 Ct. Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present a transcendent example of natural beauty, a single, exquisite oval jade that commands attention and conveys a quiet authority. This 3.05 carat stone measures 13.95 by 9.64 by 2.84 millimeters, a perfectly balanced oval that feels substantial on the finger, yet refined in its silhouette. The gem is fashioned as a classical cabochon, a smooth, domed surface that allows its intense yellowish green tone to glow from within, and that reveals a depth of color impossible to achieve in faceted styles. Evaluated at eye level, it is eye clean, offering an unblemished visual experience that enhances the gem's serene surface and luminous presence. The polish is excellent, a mirror like finish that plays with light to create soft reflections and a tactile silkiness that invites touch. This stone is completely natural, with no enhancement, an attribute that resonates with connoisseurs who prize authenticity above all, and it carries the provenance of Burma, an origin synonymous with historic quality and geological prestige.

The provenance and untreated purity of this Burmese jade elevate it beyond mere ornament to the realm of collectible fine gems, a piece for the discerning owner who understands the story behind each stone. Burma, Myanmar, has yielded some of the world’s most coveted jades, and this specimen exhibits the hallmark characteristics of that storied source, namely a concentrated, intense color and a compact, even texture that translates into a flawless, polished cabochon. The intense color intensity imbues the gem with a presence that reads as both vibrant and sophisticated, a hue that flatters warm and cool metallic settings alike. For those who appreciate considered contrasts, we note the complementary presence of an opal type, White Opal, which pairs beautifully with the yellowish green, offering soft iridescence against the jade’s solid glow. This juxtaposition lends itself to bespoke designs, a statement ring or a pendant where the White Opal’s subtle play of color dances against the jade’s steady, aristocratic tone. The absence of enhancement ensures that over time, as the gem meets light and skin, its character will remain true, an heirloom quality that gathers history rather than losing authenticity.

Owning this cabochon is a deliberate choice, a refinement that signals cultivated taste and an appreciation for natural excellence. Imagine a custom mount that cradles the oval shape in a low profile bezel, or a ribbon of platinum that accentuates its oval symmetry, or a warm 18 carat gold frame that draws out the yellow undertones while honoring its Burmese lineage. This jade is ideal for a collector seeking a distinct centerpiece, for a jeweler crafting a bespoke commission, or for an individual who desires a singular gemstone to mark a milestone. Practical considerations are straightforward, the stone’s eye clean clarity and robust polish ensure it will wear gracefully with proper care, and its untreated nature simplifies future appraisal and provenance documentation. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the quality and story of every gem we offer, and we are pleased to provide detailed measurements, photographic views, and guidance on settings that will best enhance this formidably elegant stone. For an acquisition that is both a personal triumph and a declaration of refined status, this Burmese, untreated, intense yellowish green oval jade offers a rare opportunity to own a natural treasure, an object of desire that endures.
