7.68 Ct. Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

From the riverbeds and weathered slopes of Burma Myanmar comes a single story that began long before it reached a jeweler s bench, a story of pressure, time, and a patient earth shaping a mineral into something cherished across cultures, a story we at The Natural Gemstone Company are honored to share. Deep within metamorphic terrains, jade formed through slow transformation, its color born of trace elements and its structure compacted into a dense, tactile stone. Miners who have worked these lands for generations learned where to look and how to coax the best material from the ground, passing down techniques that balance respect for the land with skillful extraction. The rough of this jade arrived to our team carrying that history, opaque and rich in promise, a vivid green that spoke of its Burmese origin from the first glance. Each step from quarry to workshop preserved as much of the stone s natural character as possible, because the most compelling gems are those whose human story honors their geological one.

In the cutting room the jade took on its contemporary identity, shaped into a refined fancy shape that complements its natural opaqueness and vivid color intensity, a geometry that accentuates surface luster and silhouette, and that invites light to reveal the depth of tone within. This piece weighs 7.68 carat, with dimensions of 23.99 by 11.99 by 3.72 millimeters, details that make it versatile for a variety of design interpretations, from a pendant centerpiece to a distinctive ring element. The cut is not applicable in traditional faceting terms, because jade benefits from forms that emphasize smooth planes and strong contours, and here the cutter chose a form that retains substance while creating an elegant profile. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that under ordinary viewing the stone reads clean, its surface and color taking precedence over the small, natural inclusions that attest to authenticity. The polish is excellent, a mirror like finish across gently curved faces that invite touch. Importantly this jade has no enhancement, it is natural in every sense, a trait increasingly rare and highly prized, and a detail we highlight with pride.

Beyond geology and craftsmanship, this jade carries cultural resonance that enriches its presence in any collection or design, a resonance that our clients often tell us elevates a jewel into a talisman of continuity. In Myanmar and across East Asia jade has been valued not only for its beauty, but for its symbolism of longevity, harmony, and protection. When you wear a piece like this you are continuing a narrative that connected ancient artisans and modern hands, a narrative of respect for material and meaning. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this stone with both technical transparency and storytelling care, so you know the specifics that matter, and so you can share the origin story with anyone who touches the finished piece. Imagine the stone set with warm metals to echo its green depth, or framed by lighter accents to let the vivid color sing, each setting revealing a different facet of personality and intent. We are available to discuss bespoke settings, to provide high resolution imagery, and to offer guidance on care, so that the polish and tone remain true through years of wear.

This jade is more than a gem, it is a bridge between place and person, measured and described so you may assess its physical attributes, and narrated so you may feel its heritage. We invite you to consider the 7.68 carat, opaque green jade, the unusual fancy shape, the dimensions of 23.99 by 11.99 by 3.72 millimeters, the very slightly included clarity at eye level, the vivid color intensity, the excellent polish, the absence of enhancement, and its origin in Burma Myanmar, as the elements that make it distinct.
