Mokaite is a type of sedimentary jasper, a variety of silica, specifically silicon dioxide. It is characterized by its diversity of colors ranging from red to yellow, brown and purple, often presented in abstract patterns or bands. Mokaite is a fossiliferous siliceous rock, which means that it often contains fossilized remains of ancient organisms. Its name comes from the locality of Mooka Creek in Western Australia, where it is mainly found. On the Mohs scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, Mokaïte is between 6.5 and 7, which makes it strong enough to be used in jewelry. Its microcrystalline structure gives it a matte to slightly waxy shine.
