Collection: Mookaite

Mookaite, also known as Mookaite Jasper, is named after Mooka Creek, close to where it is found in the Kennedy Ranges in Western Australia. The Aboriginal term “Mooka” means “running waters” and refers to the numerous springs and streams that feed into this area. It is a sedimentary stone composed of fossilized remains of radiolaria, tiny marine organisms that contribute to its striking blend of reds, yellows, creams, and purples. Its vibrant colours result from mineral impurities like iron oxide, which give Mookaite its distinctive appearance. With a hardness of 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, Mookaite is both durable and easily polished, making it a popular choice for jewellery and carvings.

Magical Properties:

Mookaite carries nurturing and shielding energies that support emotional balance and protection, grounding you in the present moment. Its grounding qualities help connect you to the Earth, providing stability during times of change, while its nurturing essence brings calm and emotional resilience. Known for shielding against negativity, Mookaite also encourages self-confidence and promotes clear decision-making, helping you adapt to life's challenges with strength and grace.

Historical Properties:

Mookaite has long been valued by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia, who used it for both spiritual and physical healing. The stone’s deep connection to the land and its earthy colours reflect its historical role in promoting balance and harmony with nature.
