Mookaite Jasper

In this article, I’ll discuss this beautiful crystal’s meanings. I will also talk about its benefits, uses, and properties. I’ll also include the best ways to cleanse your crystals and the perfect stones to pair with mookaite jasper.

Mookaite Jasper is a unique stone that hails from only one place in the world: Kennedy Ranges of Western Australia. The term “mookaite” is actually not the official name used to describe this stone. It’s a locally coined word, and the stone was named from the location where rich deposits of this particular type of jasper were found, Mooka Creek. In turn, the creek got its name from the Aboriginal word mooka, which, according to the locals, means “running waters”.

Mookaite jasper is also called Australian Jasper. There are also various other terms used to call this stone such as Moukite and Mook Jasper; however, Mookaite Jasper is perhaps the most correct one.

In reality, mookaite jasper is made up of cryptocrystalline silica and the remains of microscopic creatures called radiolarite. These types of plankton have unique opaline silica as skeletal structures. After being buried under layers of sediment for a long time, the material silicified and thus became the mookaite jasper that people know today.

Most of the time, these stones had been described as chalcedony, chert, or opalite. The best ones are the chalcedonic variety, which is perhaps the most common material used to make cabochons and jewelry.

It can be found in various colors, ranging from red, purple, yellow, brown to mauve. Some stones are monochromatic in color, while others are mottled with rainbow-like shades of reds and yellows. The variation in colors is often caused by the presence of iron oxides in the stones.

Can you wash mookaite?

Ways to cleanse and charge your mookaite stones

• Sun

  While the sun can charge your stones very quickly, you will want to remove the stone from the sun after an hour or two as the sun could discolor your crystals (even those that are sun-safe). You can set your stone outside or on a windowsill to absorb the powerful energy from the heavens. The time you need to charge your crystals will vary, but they can often be ready in just a few minutes.

• Full Moon

  Cleansing your stones with the full moon is an excellent way to remove negativity. At twilight, place your crystals on a windowsill or a place where they will be able to absorb the light of the moon (and its vibrations). Remove the stone the following morning before the sun gets too high into the sky. You can also place several stones on a grid to charge with a specific intention.

• Ground

  Returning your crystals to the earth can refill them with energy, renewing them. Dig a hole in the earth and place a plate in the soil. Cover the plate slightly, then place the stones on top. Bury the stones and mark the place on the surface where you know where to dig. A week later, carefully remove the topsoil and remove the stones. If you reach the plate, you know you have gone too far and you may have dug up the stone.

• Running Water

  Holding a stone in running water for about a minute each can both cleanse and charge many hard stones. Access to a natural spring is always best, but faucets also work as long as the stone can be completely submerged. You can also place them in a fountain to allow the water to run over the stones. Dry with a soft cloth when you remove the stone from the water.

• Smudging

  Smudging your stones will immediately remove negative energies, so it is important to open a window for them to leave if you are cleansing your crystals indoors. Simply light either used bundled or loose sage with a match then blow out the flame to produce smoke. Wave the stone through the smoke for 30 to 60 seconds to clear bad vibrations. Ensure you use a fire-safe bowl or plate for safety.
