MAW SIT SIT
This is a natural untreated stone from Myanmar-It is well polished high domed stone ready for setting.
Stunning green colour.
Maw-Sit-Sit
Maw-sit-sit is a rare, intense green variety of jadeite found in Tawmaw, the jade mining region of North-Western Myanmar{Burma}. First discovered in 1963, maw-sit-sit is composed of jadeite and chromite with chromium (Cr) as the principle coloring agent, and kosmochlor (Ko) forming the black spots.
There are two completely different minerals associated with the name "jade," "nephrite," and "jadeite." Jadeite is a pyroxene, part of a rock-forming silicate mineral group associated with metamorphic rock, while nephrite is an amphibole, a variety of actinolite that is part of the rock-forming inosilicate mineral containing ions of iron and/or magnesium. The mineral Jadeite is comprised of blocky, interlocking granular crystals, while nephrite is comprised of fibrous crystals. These differences are what accounts for the identifiable characteristics of each mineral. Jadite is described as having a granular, or "sugary" texture, whereas nephrite's texture is described as "silky."

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
