8.11 Ct. Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This specimen is an opaque, oval green jade, weighing 8.11 carat, with dimensions 14.46 x 12.23 x 5.20 mm. The piece is fashioned as a cabochon with a pronounced dome, the dome height providing a substantial profile that measures 5.20 mm, which yields a height to length ratio that emphasizes presence in a mounting. The cutter maintained an even oval outline and a consistent girdle, producing symmetry that translates into balanced light return across the face. Color is described as faint intensity, with a soft green hue and subtle localized green clouds that are visible under direct examination. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the inclusions presenting as fine internal texture rather than discrete fractures, and they do not interrupt the overall visual continuity of the cabochon. The polish is excellent, yielding a smooth, high luster surface that enhances the stone body color and minimizes surface diffusion of light. There are no enhancements, the material being natural, and the origin is Burma, Myanmar, consistent with higher grade jadeite sources.

From a lapidary and setting perspective, this piece demonstrates careful craftsmanship, the cabochon cut optimized to exhibit body color and to mask internal texturing, making it ideal for bezel or closed back settings where the mass and dome can be appreciated. The substantial dome and opaque character reduce the risk of windowing, so the visual weight is retained when mounted in rings, pendants, or statement cuff links. For buyers interested in paired stones, opal type White Opal pairs well with this faint green jade when a contrast between creamy opalescence and soft green body tone is desired, creating complementary palettes for multi stone designs. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this jade to technical buyers and designers who value provenance, unaltered material, and executed cabochon work that supports secure settings and long term wear.
