Australia’s Mookaite Masterpieces Direct From The Source

During my trip to Australia, I collected some beautiful gemstone specimens for my jewelry and home decor designs, including the striking stones known as mookaite jasper. The stone is perfect for adding striking organic earthy statements to necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.

The first thing that comes to mind when people hear my Aussie accent is the almost universal happiness Australians are known for. Many of my friends have expressed their dream of visiting Australia and experiencing its rich history.

With the travel restrictions in place, I thought this would be a good opportunity to share one of my previous journeys back to my native home of Melbourne, Australia.

There are many things that make Australia a special place, from its incredible biodiversity and breathtaking countryside to natural gems as vibrant as our culture.

One of my favorite gemstones, mookaite jasper from Australia, is based on the Aboriginal term mooka, which translates to running waters. The name is inspired by the numerous springs that feed Mooka Creek in Western Australia. It’s held that the stone inspires its wearer with the quality of heightened awareness.

The mookaite jasper from Australia is truly a gorgeous stone, featuring dramatic color combinations that include deep reds, yellows, plums, pink, and cream.

During my visit, I explored warehouses and showrooms responsible for giving us Australia’s mookaite masterpieces.

Here’s a bit of my trip you can experience from wherever you happen to be. Enjoy the video below.
