History & Science
Mookaite, also called Mookaite Jasper, is known for its vibrant displays of red, yellow, and purple. It is formed on an ancient marine shelf from the microscopic remains of radiolarians, single-celled free-floating eukaryotes with tiny silica-based skeletons- technically making it a fossil! In fact, Mookaite is quite often "fossilferous" which means it contains fossils of other ancient marine life. It is believed it was formed during the Cretaceous Period, 145-66 million years ago. Mookaite is found only in the Windalia Radiolarite area of Western Australia

Metaphysical Properties
Jasper in all of its forms is a source of grounding and stabilization, especially during times of change and transition. And as mookaite is technically a fossil, it brings with it the wisdom for difficult decisions and the support needed for growth.
