THIS EXTREMELY RARE BURMESE 'OLD MINE' JADEITE IS THE BEST OF ITS KIND. THE FORMATION OF SUCH QUALITY REQUIRES A LONG WEATHERING PROCESS: THE ROUGH MUST BE FLUSHED INTO THE RIVER VALLEY AND MOLDED BY THE CONTINUOUS IMPACT OF FLOWING WATER. BURMESE JADEITE IS WELL-KNOWN FOR ITS FINE TEXTURE, STRONG DISPERSION OF LIGHT, EXCEPTIONAL TRANSLUCENCY AND A LURING LUSTER. HOWEVER, THROUGHOUT THE YEARS THE RECENT OUTPUT OF BURMESE JADEITE HAS REDUCED SHARPLY DUE TO OVER-EXPLOITATION. BUYERS LONGING FOR TOP QUALITY BURMESE 'OLD MINE JADEITE NOW HAVE TO ENDURE EVEN LONGER YEARS OF PATIENCE FOR SUCH SCARCE QUALITY TO DEVELOP. THIS PAIR OF OVAL-SHAPED CABOCHON FULLY DISPLAYS THE FEATURES OF 'OLD MINE' JADEITE: PURE COLOR, FINE TEXTURE, HIGH TRANSLUCENCY AND CRYSTAL CLEAR. TO CUT AND POLISH A CABOCHON OF SUCH SIZE AND SHAPE REQUIRES AMPLE PORTIONS OF ROUGH STONE AND OVERALL FLAWLESSNESS. ONLY MATERIAL EXPLOITED AGES AGO FITS THESE REQUIREMENTS AND COULD BE CUT INTO THE 8:2 RATIO WHICH IS WIDELY ACKNOWLEDGED AS THE PERFECT PROPORTION. OVER ONE CENTIMETER AT THE THICKEST POINT, YET MAINTAINING EXCEPTIONAL TRANSLUCENCY, THE CABOCHONS SHARE A SLIGHTLY YELLOWISH GREEN SHADE UNDER DIRECT LIGHT. WITH NO DOUBT THESE STUNNING ARTIFACTS ARE NATURE'S MASTERPIECES.
