Deep-Red Mookaite Pendant
Handcrafted Mookaite pendant designed in a fine sterling silver setting.
Mookaite, an Australian Jasper, is a colourful stone mined on private land in Western Australia.
Although usually pronounced 'mookite', the correct pronunciation should be 'mooka-ite, because the stone is named after Mooka Creek, where it's found.
Like many varieties of Jasper, Mookaite is used primarily for decorative purposes.
