I love a good break-up story and these stones don't hold back! What looks like fractures has actually been filled in with mother nature's super stone glue; silica! Another Outback gemstone mined by Glenn Archer. Mostly recognized for it's cardinal red and gold, this newer material has our jaws on the floor! Mookaite is named after the Mookaite region in Australia where it is found. While it is categorized as a Jasper, interestingly enough this material is technically a sedementary radiolarite. Radiolarians are microfossils with a siliceous shell that are part of the zooplankton and live in the first 200 meters of the water column. *please treat these and most other opaque stones carefully; meaning don't take them bathing, cleaning or swimming*
