Mookait stone

Mookaite is an Australian stone, which has parts of opalite, chert and jasper. The name Mookaite comes from the Aboriginal name of the locality at a small watercourse in Western Australia (mooka = flowing water). The stone has only been on the international market for a few years, so there are no synonyms for it.

The only place of discovery is on the Mooka Ranch in Western Australia.

Its colours are created by finely dispersed iron oxide compounds. Depending on the content and type of iron oxide compound, mookaite shows white, beige-yellow, ochre or brick-red colours, but all of them are pastel-bright.
