About the Item

First of all we can see the truly German reliability and authenticity of this piece as the main gem stone used is extremely rare to find and very durable called Green Maw Sit Sit. Maw-sit-sit is certainly one of the more unusual and exotic gemstones of the world. It even has a curious name, after the small village and sole source in Northwestern Burma. Maw-sit-sit is an interesting green gemstone, technically defined as a rock because of its mixed composition. The primary constituents of maw-sit-sit include kosmochlor (a mineral related to jadeite) and varying amounts of jadeite and albite feldspar. It is often classified as variety of jade, but it is not a pure form of jade - such as jadeite or nephrite. Maw-sit-sit is sometimes traded as 'chloromelanite' or 'jade-albite', but maw-sit-sit is found only in Burma whereas chloromelanite and jade-albite can be found in other localities. With a hardness of 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, maw-sit-sit is sufficiently durable for most jewelry designs.This vintage cat charm was a popular design however this is one of the original popular designs with a very clear hall mark stating "14KT", also what appears to be a strongly struck in brand new condition is the word "GERMANY" and a German Family crest. Most bracelet charms are not this well made by hand and have the same precision to perfectly set 2 carats of rubies in the eyes. IT is most certainly German craftsmanship and absolutely gorgeous. 1.25 inches in length by .75 inches at the widest point and weighs approximately 8.5 grams.
