Mookaite jasper is a beautiful mineral of earthy, bold color that is found in the outcroppings near Mooka Creek in the Kennedy Ranges of western Australia. “Mooka” is an aboriginal term that means “running waters,” in reference to the springs feeding into this area. Over the course of millennia, the skeletal remains of microscopic protozoa with a hard silica shell were deposited in shallow parts of sea beds as sediment. Additional silica contained in groundwater solidified these remains as water receded, along with minerals that gave the mookaite jasper its astounding range and combinations of color, including burgundy, red, brown, mauve, purple, yellow and cream. It exhibits a hardness of 6 to 7 and a specific gravity of 2.62 to 2.66.
