9.65 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

One beautiful opaque 9.65 carat marquise shape green jade from Burma, Myanmar, available through The Natural Gemstone Company, presents a rare combination of size, shape, and untouched natural character. Measuring 25.89 x 11.09 x 4.71 mm, the stone has been meticulously shaped as a cabochon to emphasize its vivid color intensity and to showcase the smooth, reflective plane created by an excellent polish. Compared to the many treated jades and lower grade pieces commonly found on the market, this marquise cabochon stands apart because it is unenhanced, preserving the genuine depth and variability of Burmese jade that serious collectors and designers seek. Where many sellers offer heavily dyed or polymer impregnated material that can appear unnaturally bright or uneven over time, this natural piece delivers stable, authentic color and tactile weight, offering superior long term value and visual integrity. The elongated marquise silhouette is uncommon for cabochon jade, and that uniqueness translates into a more distinctive finished jewel than the more frequently seen round or oval cabochons.

When designed into a custom piece, this marquise jade becomes a dramatic focal point that pairs beautifully with complementary gemstones and metals, allowing jewelers and clients to play with contrast and harmony in ways that mass market pieces rarely accommodate. For a refined, classic look, surround the marquise with a delicate halo of small white diamonds, set in warm yellow gold to enhance the stone's lush green and to create a high contrast that elevates both the jade and the diamonds. For a more contemporary palette, flank the center jade with small faceted blue sapphires on either tip to create a striking cool tone progression, or add tiny cognac diamonds or spessartine garnets along one side for a rich, autumnal counterpoint that highlights the jade's inner warmth. The cabochon surface also makes this piece ideal for a bezel setting that protects the edges while letting the stone's polish show, a practical advantage over faceted center stones which need more careful prong protection. Compared to similar weight jades on the market, this untreated Burmese marquise from The Natural Gemstone Company offers exceptional aesthetic versatility, durable wearability, and a provenance that adds both story and resale appeal, making it a superior choice for a bespoke ring, pendant, or statement pair of earrings.
