6.36 Ct. Bluish Green Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This translucent bluish green jade weighs 6.36 carats and is fashioned into a classic cushion outline with dimensions of 15.98 x 12.08 x 3.09 mm, cut in a tablet style that emphasizes surface plane and color rather than facet driven brilliance. The tablet cut gives the gem a shallow profile with a broad, even table and pleasing pavilion proportions, a design particularly suited to jade because it maximizes the perception of tone and translucency. The clarity has been graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that any internal features are minimal and do not detract from the overall appearance unless inspected closely by a trained observer. Color intensity is medium, a balanced saturation that preserves both presence and versatility, while an excellent polish delivers a smooth, reflective surface. There has been no enhancement performed on this specimen, a factor that carries significant weight for informed buyers, and the stone’s origin is Burma, Myanmar, a historic source of the highest regarded jade material.

From a gemological perspective the combination of translucency, medium color intensity, excellent polish, and the absence of enhancement positions this jade as an attractive piece for both connoisseurs and collectors. Translucency in jadeite is a key determinant of value because it governs how light penetrates and disperses within the material, producing that desirable inner glow or radiance. Very slightly included at eye level means the inclusions are discreet and typically peripheral or wispy, they do not create obvious visual distractions from the face of the stone, and they often confirm natural formation processes and provenance rather than signalling treated or synthetic origins. The tablet cut is purposeful for this material, it presents a broad face that showcases hue and saturation evenly, and when executed with an excellent polish as in this example, the stone takes on a satiny, almost waxy sheen that is characteristic and prized in high quality jade. Burmese origin further enhances desirability because Burma has a long established reputation for producing jade of attractive structure and chroma, a provenance that educated buyers recognize as contributing to both aesthetic and market value. The Natural Gemstone Company is committed to transparent information about sourcing and evaluation, and this stone’s untreated status and measured attributes will be clearly documented for ownership records.

How the gem behaves under various lighting conditions is central to how it will look in daily wear and for display. In bright daylight, especially indirect northern daylight or diffused daylight through clouds, the translucency and medium color intensity create a soft internal glow that makes the bluish green appear evenly saturated, revealing subtle depth of color across the tablet table. Under direct sunlight the stone can exhibit a livelier appearance, with increased contrast between light and deeper zones, and occasional pinpoint flashes at the edges where light catches the polished surface. In warm incandescent light the bluish component will gently temper toward greener and warmer tones, often enhancing the stone’s perceived richness and giving it a more classic, elegant presence. Under cool white LED lighting the bluish green aspect becomes crisper, which can be preferred for contemporary settings, while fluorescent light may slightly wash the stone depending on the color temperature, so viewing under multiple light sources is recommended prior to setting. The tablet cut means that specular reflection from the broad table will be prominent, so spot lighting or directional gallery lights accentuate the polish and create attractive highlights. For wearable settings a bezel or protective setting is advisable because the shallow pavilion of a tablet cut benefits from structural security, and paired metals can alter perception of color, with yellow gold warming the tone and white metals maintaining a cooler, more modern look. Simple care such as avoiding harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes will preserve polish and color.
