moukite

Moukaite, also referred to as “hicorite” or “mook jasper”, is a type of jasper found in Australia.   This beautiful gemstone displays colors of reddish-browns, gold, white and mauvey-pinks mixed in broad patterns.  These wide range of colors are actually finely-divided minerals of clay and iron oxide within this moukaite gemstone.  Moukaite, just like jasper, is a chalcedony, silicate mineral from the quartz group of minerals.

 As a jasper, Moukaite is believed to help with ending relationships or anything that must end in order to make way for something new.   Moukaite helps to focus when trying to complete a task.   Moukaite is known to stabilize emotions and, additionally, it reduces insecurities and fears.
