6.64 Ct. Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This exquisite translucent green jade from Burma Myanmar weighs 6.64 carats and is presented in a classic oval cabochon measuring 17.92 x 12.85 x 3.70 mm, the surface showing an excellent polish and the clarity graded as very slightly included at eye level, the color intensity is medium and the piece is completely unenhanced, making it a naturally appealing choice for collectors and designers. Compared with the highly sought after imperial jade often associated with the most saturated Burmese material, this stone offers a softer grassy green and a gentler translucency that translates into greater versatility for everyday wear, the tone reads warmer and less electric than top grade imperial examples, and that difference creates an attractive balance between presence and subtlety. Against classic Hetian nephrite from China the difference is immediately apparent, Hetian material tends to present a denser, waxy texture and a creamier, often more opaque tone, while this Burmese jade carries cleaner translucence and a more lively internal glow, relative to Canadian nephrite this gem is noticeably lighter in tone and more translucent, Canadian pieces frequently run darker and more opaque which changes their optical depth and limits the luminous effect you see in this cabochon.

The Natural Gemstone Company positions this jade as a superior value because it combines authentic Burmese origin with no enhancement, a thoughtful cabochon shape and an excellent polish that maximize the stone hue and surface luster, natural inclusions confirm its authenticity and do not detract from the overall eye appeal, they add character and attest to its untreated state versus many market alternatives that have been dyed or polymer treated to simulate color and translucency. Compared with Guatemalan jadeite which can show bluish or uneven tonal patches, and with New Zealand pounamu which leans to deeper olive and darker tones, this Burmese example offers a consistent medium green that photographs and wears with reliable attractiveness, the cabochon cut enhances the even spread of color and the smooth dome shows light play without the need for aggressive saturation. For buyers seeking a naturally beautiful, well proportioned, and responsibly sourced green jade that stands apart from both heavily treated commercial material and the more opaque regional nephrites, this 6.64 carat Burmese jade from The Natural Gemstone Company delivers a compelling combination of hue, translucency, and polish that makes it an exceptional choice.
