A very novel way of enjoying this one-source Burmese gemstone. Maw-Sit-Sit is an aggregate of several minerals (foremost among those chromite and kosmochlor) that is produced as a byproduct of jadeite mining in Northern Burma. The color is a superb, vivid moss green with darker green and black contrasting areas. Usually always done as cabs, this one is a fascinating faceted example that still showcases the distinctive look of the material.
