5.89 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Burma (Myanmar)

This 5.89 carat oval bluish green jade presents an elegant balance of size and color, with dimensions 13.67 by 9.75 by 4.55 mm, a classic cabochon cut, and an excellent polish that accentuates the stone surface and hand appeal. Originating from Burma Myanmar, this natural Burmese jade exhibits intense color intensity that reads as a lively bluish green across the dome, and it is graded as opaque with a clarity of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, indicating minor internal features that do not detract from its visual impact. No enhancement has been applied, which is an important consideration for discerning buyers, because untreated Burmese jadeite carries both intrinsic scarcity and a premium related to its natural formation. The cabochon shape and meticulous polish maximize the depth and uniformity of the color, making this piece particularly suitable for statement rings, pendants, or collectors seeking a high quality natural jade example.

For educated buyers comparing natural gemstones to lab grown alternatives, several clear advantages support the value of this piece from The Natural Gemstone Company. Natural jade from Myanmar forms over geological time under unique pressure and temperature conditions, producing subtle, organic variations in color and internal texture that cannot be precisely reproduced in a laboratory, and these nuances contribute to long term rarity and collectibility. The absence of enhancement increases market confidence in stability and authenticity, whereas lab grown stones, while chemically similar in many cases, lack the provenance and geological story that often underpins investment value. Additionally, natural jade responds well to traditional lapidary techniques, and its polished cabochon surface here demonstrates genuine material integrity and resilience. For customers who appreciate multi stone settings, consider pairing this piece with a white opal, specifically White Opal, where the soft iridescent play of the opal can complement the solid, intense hue of the jade, and choosing natural examples of both stones preserves harmony in provenance and long term desirability. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the documented origin and treatment status of this jade, offering a transparent choice for collectors and designers who prioritize authenticity and lasting value.
