Mookite Tumblestones
Mookite Tumblestones
Tumblestones or tumbled stones have been tumbled with grit in a large tumbling machine to create a polished surface that is pleasant to hold and is also good for reflecting the colour of the stone. They are a great, inexpensive way to get to know crystals and to start building your collection. They are also perfect tools for healing and gridmaking.
If you purchase a pair or grid set, each is individually handpicked with great care for balance and coherence. If you order multiple singles, we cannot always guarantee to have enough stock to make up a balanced pair or set, but we will do our best.
These tumblestones are our 'standard stock' and we usually have many available. They all pass Sue's quality test, but since they are natural stones there will be some variation in appearance. If you prefer a particular colour, please make a note with your order and we’ll do our best to help. You may not receive the item in the photograph.
Mookite is also known as mookite jasper, mookaite, moukite, and there are many other ways of spelling it too. It is named for Mooka Creek in Western Australia, where it is found. Mookaite is a sedimentary rock, formed initially from many tiny sea creatures when the land area was beneath the sea. When the sea levels fell, these sediments, with the addition of silica, became solid rock.
Mookite has been found in many colours, including red, maroon, purple, brown-orange, pale yellow, mustard, ivory, white and pink. Occasionally it has black dendrites – these are valued for creating beautiful cabochons for jewellery.
I have read many descriptions of Mookite which claim that it is a grounding stone, but this is not my experience at all.
While Mookite has some of the stability of Jasper (as I know it) it also has a strong sense of lightness – a very high spirituality – and lots of movement.
I feel that this stone can help us to adjust to the changes and bring support in these transformative times, as we release old patterns and move into the new. The energies are exhilarating for some, turbulent for others, and Mookite will help to bring peace when help is needed.
