Stuff like that is universally OEM-supplied, not available as 3rd party
parts.
"Mixet" doesn't mean anything to me as a name; virtually all
cartridge-type fixtures these days have lifetime replacement/repair
policies.
Best can suggest is either take it to an industrial gasket supply to see
if can match it or contact faucet vendor.

It would be a good idea if you learned how to use Google.
Then you would find a number of suppliers for Mixet parts

No Charlie, nobody sells just the o rings for Mixet, yes I did Google,
they would rather sell the complete cartridge instead and as dpb
stated “Stuff like that is universally OEM-supplied, not available as
3rd party parts.”, but that was the point I was trying to make in the
first place, thank you dpb. These companies are out to make money and
they can’t make enough money just selling you an o ring so they keep
the dimensions a secret. Well now, the secret is out. Now if only a
another pissed-off soul would supply the name of the manufacturer we
REALLY would have something huh?

Give this one a try
3mm x 14mm x 20mm which is .118" x .551" x .787" in
Imperial measurements
tolerances as follows
cross section +/-.004
I.D. +/- .008
Your measurements are close but not exactly on the catalog dimensions.
They're close, give it a try.
McMaster has them but so might your local bearing house, auto parts
store or decent hardware store.
Type: O-Ring
O-Ring Type: Standard
Cross Section Shape: Round
System of Measurement: Metric
Width: 3 mm
Inside Diameter: 14 mm
Outside Diameter: 20 mm

Again, generally, ceramic cartridges are lifetime replacement warranty
items so you don't need anything except to contact the manufacturer.
If Mixet (never heard of 'em) doesn't do that, I'd surely consider
replacing it instead w/ a manufacturer which does instead.
Again, I've had some luck at local gasket distributorship of finding
"close enough" replacements for some off-size stuff as well as at a
large, well-stocked plumbing supply. Ace or the other retail outlets
are less likely to have a full a selection of alternatives...
