3.50 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This translucent 3.50 carat round green jade presents as a precision executed cabochon, dimensions 10.00 x 9.93 x 4.21 mm, translucency that permits controlled light transmission, and an even medium color intensity that balances saturation with depth. The cutting style is cabochon, with a carefully calculated convex dome and symmetrical outline that functions as a geometric light engine, channeling and redistributing incident light across the stone surface. Clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, with inclusions minimal and localized so that internal light pathways remain coherent, preserving depth and allowing subtle color zoning to be read without obstruction. The polish is excellent, indicating superior lapidary finish and mirror quality on the dome, while the profile height of 4.21 mm relative to the 10.00 mm diameter provides a favorable crown ratio to optimize both face up presence and internal reflection. Enhancement none, origin Burma, Myanmar, a proven provenance for fine nephrite and jadeite material with characteristic hue and body tone.

From a technical standpoint the cabochon’s geometric doming is the principal mechanism by which maximum light play is achieved, substituting faceting by using curvature and controlled surface topology to create predictable light paths, specular highlights, and broad flash areas. The cutter has balanced the dome curvature to act like a low power lens, increasing apparent depth without overbulking color, while edge profiling at the girdle secures precise transition zones that prevent light leakage and preserve silhouette integrity in mounting. Excellent polish assures low surface scattering so internal light is returned as coherent illumination and soft sheen rather than diffuse matte. For the connoisseur who values craftsmanship over ornament, this 3.50 carat round cabochon combines judicious material selection from Burma, meticulous proportioning, and a finish that maximizes light interaction, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind its attributes and provenance.
