4.71 Ct. Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

From the silent, ancient rivers of northern Burma Myanmar comes a story written in mineral and time, a tale that begins with tectonic patience and the slow formation of jade deep within the earth, a stone that has been revered for centuries for its resilience and soul. This particular piece began as a lump of jadeite in a remote outcrop, weathered and hidden amid green hills, discovered by hands that know how to read the language of the land. Carved by nature into a translucent matrix with veins and nuances, the material displayed a lively mottled green character that spoke of unique geological conditions. Our experienced team at The Natural Gemstone Company selected the rough for its translucency and potential, recognizing the promise of a vivid tone that would shine when coaxed into form. AGL certification accompanies this jade, confirming its natural origin and lab color classification as Mottled Green, a formal seal that honors the stone before it leaves its birthplace.

The transformation from rough to jewel became an act of careful restraint, a collaboration between cutter and gemstone that respected the stone s inherent beauty and preserved its story. Cut into a marquise shape with a smooth cabochon dome, this 4.71 carat gem measures 19.91 x 8.31 x 3.54 mm, a slender boat like silhouette that accentuates its translucent depth. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, a detail that adds character without compromising the gem s luminous presence. The polish is excellent, the surface catching light with soft reflections that reveal the mottled pattern within, and the color intensity reads as vivid, a clear and arresting green that feels alive. No enhancement has been applied, the stone remaining wholly natural and honest, a fact documented by the AGL report that travels with the gem. As a finished cabochon this jade invites a variety of designs, from a refined pendant that lets light pass through its heart to an elegant ring that places its marquise silhouette along the wearer s finger. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor the journey from earth to art, and we offer this AGL certified Burmese mottled green jade as a piece with provenance, personality, and enduring beauty.
