Mookaite forms near Mooka Creek in the Kennedy Ranges of Western Australia. This is the only known commercial source of this jasper variety.
Yes. Mookaite rates 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, similar to quartz. Pendants experience less abrasion than rings, so mookaite works well in this setting.
The color bands result from varying concentrations of iron oxide and other minerals present during the stone's formation. Red and yellow tones indicate iron content, while cream sections contain fewer mineral inclusions.
