Mawsitsit Ring – RARE – Size N-UK, 6.75-US, 53-EU

This is a gorgeous ring of rare Mawsitsit. I love the name, the deep, rich, green colour and energy of this beautiful mineral. It’s really unusual.

Maw-sit-sit is found in the famous jade mining region of Tawmaw in the Himalayan foothills of northwestern Myanmar (formally Burma). It was first identified by the late Dr. Eduard Gubelin in 1963 and named after the village close by. Maw-sit-sit, like the jadeite found in this region was formed due to high pressure metamorphism. This region lies on a plateau at an elevation of approximately 3000 feet within the Uru river drainage basin.

Mawsitsit is a byproduct of jadeite mining and is quite rare in comparison to jade. Its exact composition is still unknown, because classification is quite a challenge due to maw-sit-sit’s unique composition. Jadeite is a component, but there is some controversy on whether it can be called jade. Maw Sit Sit is said to be energizing, to help one feel alive, and to ward off melancholy and depression.

Please note however that I do not offer a try before you buy service. People have taken advantage of this in the past and I’ve had to decline any further custom from them. Please only purchase if the ring is your size or close to it. Obviously with rings, they have to fit comfortably, so am happy to exchange/refund no problem, but please respect this service. Thank you 🙂
