This 5.45 carat, opaque green jade from Burma Myanmar is a compelling example of natural beauty and expert finishing, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, it measures 13.99 x 11.93 x 3.60 mm in an elegant oval form, it is cabochon cut to maximize its surface glow, clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, color intensity is medium intense, and the stone displays an excellent polish with no enhancement. This piece has the tactile, reassuring heft and smoothness that collectors associate with top quality jade, and the untreated nature of this gem adds to its desirability for buyers who prize authenticity. For designers seeking contrast when setting this piece, note that White Opal pairs exceptionally well as a companion stone, offering a gentle play of light against the steady, saturated green of the jade. The cabochon cut allows light to play across the surface, creating a soft internal luster that reads as classic and timeless when set into rings or pendants, and the modest size and perfect oval proportions make it versatile for both modern and traditional settings.

When compared to some of the most famous gems in history this Burmese jade claims its own place rather than trying to imitate others, unlike the Hope Diamond which is celebrated for dramatic fire and unmatched hardness, this jade offers a different kind of presence, a soothing, organic green that reads as wearable art and everyday luxury, while stones like the Sunrise Ruby are prized for explosive color intensity and rarity, our jade wins on the grounds of texture and cultural provenance, Burmese jade has a storied history tied to imperial collections and ceremonial use, and this piece echoes that heritage with its medium intense green and natural, untreated status. Compared to famous pearls and ancient beads that speak to organic origins and human connection, this jade shares that same narrative while adding the polish and shaping that modern cutters bring, it is more resilient than many softer gem materials, and the very slightly included clarity means the stone retains visual purity without appearing synthetic or overworked. The overall impression is of a stone that carries history and everyday practicality in one package, it offers a tactile warmth and visual calm that gemstones known for flash cannot replicate.

For buyers weighing value and uniqueness this jade is notable because untreated Burmese material with this combination of size, color, and finish is increasingly uncommon, at 5.45 carat the stone is substantial enough to make a statement on the finger or in a pendant, and the cabochon cut emphasizes the continuity of color, which is particularly attractive for collectors who value harmony over flashy spectacle. The excellent polish elevates the stone beyond a rough specimen into a wearable jewel, and the very slightly included clarity grade assures buyers that the inclusions are part of the stone s natural character rather than defects that require enhancement to disguise. In practical terms this jade offers superior day to day durability compared with many historically famous gems that are more delicate, and when paired with White Opal or classic metals it presents a refined contrast that highlights the jade s even tone and gentle gloss.
