THE FACTS

Jasper is an opaque variety of micro granular quartz and/or chalcedony and other minerals. It has a hexagonal crystal system. Its chemical formula is Si02 and it is a 6.5-7 on the Mohs hardness scale.

There are many kinds of Jasper in existence. The patterns of Jasper are formed during the process of mineral consolidation, which is determined by the flow and deposits of silica-rich sediments. The stone naturally forms with fissures & cracks, and these are filled later by other minerals, resulting in the final unique outcome.

Jaspers can contain 20% of foreign materials, which account for the wide variety of colors and patterns. The name 'jasper' is derived from the Greek word for 'spotted stone,’ referring to its multicolored, striped, or spotted appearance.

Mookaite Jasper is known for its more common luminous red and yellow colorations, though it has a broad color range, including whites, browns, and purples. The common red color is due to iron inclusions. It is referred to as “Mook” or “Mooka” Jasper.

A LITTLE HISTORY

Mookaite is the local nickname for the specific jasper found near Mooka Creek in the Kennedy Ranges in Western Australia. Mooka is an Aboriginal word, meaning “running waters.” Mookaite Jasper was first mined in the 1960’s.

Historically, Jasper has been used throughout all ancient civilizations. It has been used as a talisman for healing & protection by kings, priests, and shamans. Ancient Egyptians believed Jasper brings luck and the stone was often found in burial tombs to insure a safe journey in the afterlife. Jasper is found all over the world, namely India, Russia, Brasil, France, Germany, & the USA.
