What is Myanmar Jadeite?

Myanmar Jadeite, also known as "Burmese jade," is a high-quality, rare gemstone primarily composed of the mineral jadeite, known for its vibrant green (emerald green) and lavender colors, fine texture, and high translucency. Mined almost exclusively from the Kachin State in Myanmar, this "imperial jade" is highly valued for its "water-like" luster and is used in fine jewelry. The mining of this gem, however, is associated with significant ethical and environmental concerns, including forced labor, deadly landslides, and funding an armed rebellion.

 

Is Myanmar jade good?

Yes, Myanmar jade is considered among the world's best, with its northern Kachinland deposits producing the highest quality gemstone-grade jadeite, characterized by rich colors, fine texture, and high transparency, which gives it a captivating luster and makes it highly prized in the global market. However, its quality can vary, with some sources noting that the jadeite from Myanmar can be industrial-grade, and emphasizing the importance of identifying high-quality A-grade jadeite from treated or lower-grade material.
