Description: Extra large Mookaite palms - two to three time the size of a normal palmstone, but still small enough to fit snugly in your hand. Vibrant and highly contrasting colors all over, with an ultra glossy polished finish. 

Mookaite is a stunningly colorful variety of Jasper renowned for its vibrant array of earthy tones, which include shades of red, burgundy, mustard yellow, cream, white, and even purple. These colors are the product of different mineral compositions, with iron oxide being primarily responsible for the red and yellow tones, while manganese oxide contributes to the purples and browns. It was discovered in Western Australia, specifically from the Kennedy Ranges near Mooka Creek, which is where it derives its name. 

Mookaite forms through a process called sedimentation, which occurs over millions of years. It begins with the deposition of microscopic organisms, minerals, and organic matter in layers at the bottom of ancient seabeds or riverbeds. Over time, these layers undergo a process of lithification, where the sediment is compacted and cemented together by minerals, ultimately solidifying into sedimentary rock. You can think of Mookaite as fossilized seafloor. 

Mookaite is treasured not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for its metaphysical properties. Mookaite is commonly associated with the Root Chakra due to its grounding properties. It is believed to help balance and activate this chakra, which governs feelings of safety, security, and stability. Additionally, Mookaite is sometimes linked to the Sacral Chakra, which influences creativity, passion, and emotional expression. It may help stimulate and harmonize this energy center, fostering a sense of creativity and emotional well-being.
