Description:This material really only comes from one area in the world, but it is truly some of the most gorgeous opaque material out there. It looks like Jade, and although it is found near the famous Jade mining area of Tawmaw in Burma, the two gems do not have much in the way of a chemical relationship. Maw-sit-sit is an combination of many different minerals, it is actually a byproduct of the Jade mining process. It is also much more rare than Jade on a worldwide level. This "Shallow Oval" cut stone has the typical rich green color with black streaks like so many of these stones from this area. It is a beautiful stone, and very highly valued on the market today.
