History of Mookaite Jasper

This crystal can only be found in Western Australia in the outskirts of Mooka Creek, about 600 miles north of Perth, hence the name Mookaite. An Aboriginal Mother Earth stone, the word “Mooka” refers to “running waters,” pointing to the many natural springs found in the area of its origin. It goes by many names: Mookaite, Mook Jasper, Moukite, Mookalite, or just Mook. However, the locals of Mooka Creek named it “Mookaite” so that is the correct term for the stone. 

The mesmerizing stone is formed in a special way: “as the skeletal remains of radiolaria, microscopic protozoa with a hard silica shell were deposited over millennia as sediment in shallow areas of sea beds. As waters receded, the remains were solidified by additional silica carried in groundwater, along with minerals that produced its beautiful combinations of red, burgundy, mustard-yellow, cream, white, brown, mauve, and purple,” according to Outback Mining.
