“If it is the top, top quality, then you are talking about billions of pounds.”

Yes, "if." Burmese jadeite is often found in large masses like that. But the top, top quality is exceedingly rare. Most is middling to low quality and misleading treated low-value stones are very common.

But even if Americans want some of that new material it's now illegal to import Burmese jade and rubies into the U.S. The late California Democrat Congressman Tom Lantos wrote a bill ensuring that. The U.S. ban has no effect on the oppressive regime in Myanmar. The Generals are stuffing wads of money into their Swiss accounts from selling the country's resources to the wealthy Chinese.
