What is Mookaite Jasper?
Mookaite Jasper is a crystal with marbled earth tones which gets its name from the Mooka Creek near the Kennedy Ranges in Western Australia where it can be found.
The word “Mookaite” comes from the Aboriginal word for the creek where it is found, which means “running waters.”
First mined in the 1960s, Mookaite Jasper has since been discovered to house the remnants of radiolaria, tiny creatures that have opaline silica in their skeletons.
The crystals were left behind when shallow seas in the area dried up and created a solid rock bed with the silica.
