6.85 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This listing describes one opaque green jade, oval shape, weighing 6.85 carat, with dimensions 14.06 x 12.08 x 4.53 mm. The cutting style is cabochon, presenting a classical domed profile with a smooth, rounded top and a well proportioned base. Color intensity is classified as medium, yielding an even green tone across the surface. The polish is excellent, with a high, consistent luster that emphasizes the stone surface and the internal texture. No enhancement has been applied, and the origin is Burma Myanmar, which in this instance denotes a specimen consistent with the geological sources commonly associated with Burmese jade. This description is provided by The Natural Gemstone Company with an emphasis on verifiable physical attributes and provenance.

The cabochon cut used for this piece is executed to emphasize the inherent character of the material rather than optical effects that rely on faceting. The domed crown and stable profile preserve the stone integrity and expose the natural patterning and depth of the green color. The cabochon format is appropriate for opaque and semi translucent jade, delivering a tactile surface feel and a continuous visual plane when set in jewelry. At the stated dimensions and weight the piece is suitable for a wide range of applications, including center stones for rings, as a focal element in pendants, or for bespoke artisanal settings where the smooth silhouette and durable surface are preferred.

In assessing the material characteristics, the stone shows a consistent opacity with a subtle internal granular texture, which is typical of many quality jade specimens from Burma. The medium color intensity provides a balanced green presentation that neither overwhelms with saturation nor appears washed out. The excellent polish maximizes surface reflectivity and enhances perceived depth despite the opaque body. The absence of treatments or enhancements is a significant attribute for collectors and makers seeking natural material integrity, and it supports accurate evaluation of long term wear and preservation needs. Measurements have been recorded precisely as 14.06 x 12.08 x 4.53 mm, and the weight at 6.85 carat provides a stable mass for handling and setting, with proportions that retain symmetry and visual balance when mounted.

For reference and comparison, and to assist clients exploring multiple gem types, a brief note on opal classification is included. White Opal is an opal type characterized by a light to white body tone on which play of color may be present or subtle, depending on individual specimens. White Opal typically exhibits a softer background that can display flashes of spectral color when play of color is present, and it is commonly used for delicate jewelry pieces where a lighter, more translucent appearance is desired. White Opal differs materially from opaque green jade in optical behavior and handling considerations, as opal generally requires more cautious care due to its relative sensitivity to sudden changes in temperature and humidity. The Natural Gemstone Company provides both objective details and handling guidance for distinct gem types to support informed selection and appropriate care.
