8.20 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Burma (Myanmar)

This bluish green oval of Burmese jade begins its story deep in the ancient alluvial deposits of Burma Myanmar, where miners carefully recover rough pieces that have been formed over millennia. The piece you see started as a solid, opaque nodule, and it was selected for its intense color intensity and fine structural integrity. Skilled lapidaries at our workshops shaped it into an elegant cabochon, respecting the stone’s natural grain to preserve its vitality, the final gem weighing 8.20 carat, measuring 14.20 x 12.05 x 5.04 mm, with a smooth oval silhouette and an excellent polish that allows the bluish green tone to sing. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, a modest hallmark of natural origin rather than treatment, and there is no enhancement of any kind, which is a rarity that adds honest provenance to this treasure.

Beyond its beauty this Burmese jade offers outstanding longevity for daily wear, because jade is renowned not just for surface hardness but for exceptional toughness that resists chipping and fracture, Burmese jadeite typically registers around 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, and its interlocking mineral structure helps it stand up to the knocks and routines of everyday life. The cabochon cut and substantial thickness, five millimeters at the deepest point, make it well suited to rings, pendants, and sturdy bracelet settings that protect the girdle while showcasing the color. With an excellent polish and very slight inclusions visible only under close inspection, the gem will age gracefully, and simple care with mild soap and a soft cloth will retain its luster, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and you will enjoy a companion that is both resilient and intimate.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in guiding each gem from field to finger, honoring the story in every stone, and this piece carries the quiet dignity of Burmese origin and natural, untreated character.
