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, with dramatic color combinations including deep reds, yellows, plums, pink, and cream.
During my visit, I explored warehouses and showrooms responsible for giving us Australia’s mookaite masterpieces.
