Prices Many dealers say jadeite is less expensive in the United States than in the Orient. Like most gemstones, the larger the piece of jade, the more valuable the piece. Burma jadeite is bought and sold on individual pieces according to MM sizes. The most common sizes are 8mm x 10mm, 10mm x 14mm, and 13mm x 18mm. The 8 x 10's are usually 2-3 carats. The top material around 8 x 10mm in size can wholesale for $2000-$3000 per carat.
This Burmese Peridot is usually a rich olive Green and previously was readily available in large gem quality stones. Sources for these fine stones today are quite limited, and premium prices of $500-$700 per carat can be demanded for fine large gems of top color.
