Prior to becoming a stone, Mookaite was a deep oceanic bottom-mud made up of skeletal fragments from marine microorganisms. Over millions of years and with sea-level change the siliceous ooze was cemented together forming Mookaite. 

The word Mookaite originated from the Aborigines, and means 'running water', referring to the Mooka Creek where it is found.

So Happy!

I purchased the 10mm Mookaite Beads because I wanted a good mixture of colors & I am glad I did. The size is great, the colors are rich, & the texture is smooth with no irregularities. I look forward to using them in my next creation!
