6.36 Ct. Bluish Green Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

One beautiful translucent 6.36 carat cushion shape bluish green jade is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, measuring 15.98 by 12.08 by 3.09 mm. This piece is fashioned in a tablet cut, and it presents a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. The color intensity is intense, and the surface shows an excellent polish. There has been no enhancement to this gem, and the material traces to Burma, Myanmar, a provenance that is widely recognized for producing high quality jade. These facts alone, combined with the substantial carat weight and the even distribution of color, place this specimen within a category of jade that appeals to collectors who prioritize natural, unaltered material with verifiable origin.

In terms of grading and assessment, the intense bluish green hue is a primary driver of value for the educated buyer, because color remains the single most important factor in jade valuation. Intense color in a translucent body indicates good saturation and evenness, and in this case the saturation is strong without appearing overly dark, allowing the stone to transmit light rather than merely reflect it from the surface. The clarity grade very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, means that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the aesthetic when viewed with the naked eye. For practical purposes this clarity allows the stone to be set and worn without concern for conspicuous flaws, while still retaining the natural character and internal texture that many connoisseurs value. The excellent polish further enhances surface luster, providing a smooth, refined finish that complements the internal glow rather than competing with it.

The tablet cut and cushion shape work together to enhance the jade’s inherent properties of light reflection and transmission. A tablet cut, with its relatively shallow profile and broad, flat planes, encourages light to enter the stone and be diffused across the body, producing a soft internal radiance rather than faceted sparkle. In translucent jade, this internal diffusion is highly desirable, because it creates the characteristic waxy or oily glow that signals depth of material and uniform internal structure. The cushion outline provides broad surface area to display the bluish green color, while the tablet thickness of 3.09 mm is sufficient to maintain saturation without blocking light transmission. The excellent polish on those tablet planes ensures that surface reflections remain clean and crisp, allowing the observer to perceive both the surface sheen and the inner light. In practice, the cut minimizes directional glare and instead emphasizes even color distribution and a continuous luminous field, which to an educated eye indicates a well-executed balance between material, cut, and finish.

For the buyer seeking a meaningful investment or a distinguished piece for custom jewelry, this Burmese cushion tablet is compelling for several reasons. First, the origin from Burma is significant, because Burmese jadeite is historically and currently prized for its color quality and texture, and the documented lack of enhancement increases market premium and long term desirability. Second, the combination of intense color, translucency, and very slightly included clarity at this 6.36 carat weight is relatively uncommon in natural, untreated specimens, making this an attractive acquisition for collectors who prioritize natural provenance and structural integrity. From a setting perspective, the tablet cut and cushion shape work particularly well in bezel and low profile settings that allow light to enter from the sides, or in custom designs where the stone sits slightly elevated to permit back illumination. Proper mounting will enhance the stone’s internal glow and show the polish to best effect. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the material and its documented characteristics, and we can advise on appropriate mounting options, care recommendations, and certification pathways to ensure the piece maintains its value and beauty for years to come.
