MAWSITSIT
**MAW-SIT-SIT (Kosmochlore-Jade)
A metamorphic rock with a complex composition from Myanmar (Burma) Maw
Sit Sit is a rock, composed from at least six different minerals as main
constituents. Those can vary greatly in their relatives amounts and therefore
the rock may vary strongly in its visual aspect as well as in its specific
gravity value. The name Maw Sit Sit is given by the local people and reminds
the locality of origin near Kansi and Namshawa, N-Burma (Myanmar).
Previously used names in the west were Jade-Albite or Chloromelanite. Authors:
