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.
