3.17 Ct. Green Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This green jade began its journey deep within the storied hills of Burma Myanmar where generations of miners have coaxed beauty from hard stone, and this 3.17 carat opaque piece carries the quiet history of that place within its grain. Extracted naturally with no enhancement, the rough was entrusted to a skilled carver who listened to the stone and revealed a delicate leaf form, measuring 16.49 by 11.68 by 3.12 mm. The carving cut honors the material by following its natural flow, and the excellent polish brings forward a soft satin sheen that plays with light across medium color intensity. Viewed at eye level the clarity grade is slightly included, details that speak to the gem's natural origin rather than detract from its character, and tiny mineral signatures add depth and a painterly complexity to the green tones. This is jade in a truthful state, a piece that has not been altered, only refined, and its provenance from Burma Myanmar gives it a lineage treasured by connoisseurs.

As a centerpiece for a high end gemstone collection this carved leaf offers a narrative that is both wearable and museum worthy, it is at once an object of craftsmanship and a relic of place. The size and shape make it ideal for a bespoke ring or a finely set pendant where the carving can be admired from multiple angles, and the medium color intensity ensures it will harmonize with both warm and cool metals. Collectors who value natural authenticity will appreciate that this gem shows no enhancement, and that every inclusion and contour tells a chapter of formation and handwork. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this jade as a thoughtful acquisition for those seeking a singular expression of Burmese jade, a piece that anchors a collection in history, in craft, and in the quiet eloquence of nature made tangible.
