8.11 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

This oval shaped green jade presents as an opaque cabochon weighing 8.11 carat, with precise dimensions of 14.46 x 12.23 x 5.20 mm, exhibiting a classic domed profile and expertly executed symmetry. The cutting style is cabochon, with a controlled dome height that maintains an ideal crown to base ratio for even light behavior across the surface, and an apex that is smoothly rounded for optical continuity. Color is described as faint green, distributed with subtle internal clouding and faint streaks that lend depth without strong saturation. The finish is an excellent polish, achieved through meticulous lapidary technique using progressively finer abrasives to remove micro scratches and to produce a near mirror surface on the dome, improving luster and tactile quality. No enhancement has been applied, the piece is natural and stable, and the stated origin is Burma Myanmar, consistent with material that demonstrates typical Burmese textural characteristics and crystalline aggregation. The cabochon cut emphasizes the internal texture and overall body tone rather than faceting brightness, making this specimen particularly suitable for settings that favor surface sheen and organic color movement, such as bezel or closed back mounts, and for designs that require a secure seat that supports the domed profile.

The opal type associated with this listing is White Opal, which denotes a light body tone opal that may display delicate play of color against a pale translucent to opaque background, and which is commonly fashioned as a cabochon to maximize color play and surface polish. The Natural Gemstone Company confirms that this green jade is offered without enhancements, and we document the piece with clear measurements, weight, cutting style, polish grade, and provenance to support informed selection by discerning buyers. For lapidary and setting considerations, recommend orientation that follows the principal color zones, use of a low profile bezel to protect the dome edge, and polishing during final assembly to remove any handling marks. For customers seeking additional verification, we can assist with third party testing options and detailed imaging, to complement the technical description and to assure compatibility with intended design and wear.
