Mookaite meaning:
Funny name, right? Mookaite got its name from the Japanese locals because it was discovered at the Mooka railway station.
Technically, Mookaite is not really a jasper, but a sillicifiied (replaced by, combined with or impregnated with silica) porcelainite (porcelain) that crstyalizes in old, weathered outcroppings such as found in the Carnarvon Basin in the North West area of Western Australia. It doesn't form in the ways that chert, opalite, or chalcedony form. Geologically-speaking, it is very finely grained sedimentary rock that has filled in with silica so that it becomes hard and very glass=like. All of the many layers of the sedimentary rock are why Mookaite comes a large array of colors that look more like flavors: rich vanilla, toffee, cherry, coffee, and chocolate.
