Maw-sit-sit: A Complex Metamorphic Rock at the Edge of Burmese Jade
Maw-sit-sit is a rare metamorphic rock from Myanmar, often associated with jade. Composed mainly of kosmochlor and chromian jadeite, it is distinguished by its mottled texture and vivid green color. Formed under high-pressure, low-temperature conditions in subduction zones, it represents a complex material at the intersection of mineralogy and gemology.
