6.62 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Burma (Myanmar)

Imagine the moment you lift a gift from its box and discover a soft sunlit glow cradled inside, imagine the warmth you feel when something understated and genuine catches the light and reflects a lifetime of meaning. This is the feeling our 6.62 carat yellow jade evokes, an opaque oval cabochon that rests like a quiet blessing on the hand, the heart, and the memory. Cut into a classic oval cabochon with careful attention to curve and balance, this gem measures 14.36 by 12.43 by 3.93 millimeters, and it carries a faint, honeyed color that whispers rather than shouts. Graded eye clean at normal viewing distance, the surface is finished with an excellent polish that gives a gentle luster, a tactile smoothness that invites fingers to linger. Sourced from Burma Myanmar, a place renowned for producing some of the world most treasured jades, this piece is completely natural with no enhancements, a truthful treasure that will bear witness to the moments you choose to mark with it. If you delight in pairing stones, know that White Opal, a beloved opal type, can complement this yellow jade beautifully, creating a pairing that balances warm, steady glow with soft, iridescent flashes.

Beyond the poetry of its presence, you will want to know how this gem holds up in the life you plan to live. Burmese yellow jade sits at about 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, which places it in a range that combines resilience with a gentle yielding to skilled cutting and polishing. For perspective, common quartz registers at about 7, which is close to jadeite, while topaz is harder around 8, corundum such as sapphire and ruby sits at 9, and diamond holds the top position at 10. White Opal by contrast generally falls lower on the scale around 5.5 to 6.5, making it more delicate and in need of softer care when set near harder stones. What this means for you practically is that this yellow jade is more than capable of daily wear when set thoughtfully, it will weather the life you build around it with appropriate care, yet it will reward your attention with enduring polish and stable color. Avoid harsh knocks, keep it away from strong chemicals and extreme heat, clean it with gentle soap and warm water, and it will continue to glow in your hands for years, possibly for generations.
