beading: Mookaite Jasper Necklaces

Mookaite Jasper comes from Western Australia, getting its name from Mooka Creek. It’s lightweight, takes a lovely polish, and comes in a delicious variety of colors: deep and pale burgundy, lavender, almost-black, and mustard yellow.

Here’s another fiddle-friendly necklace, featuring an owl pendant carved from mookaite jasper, hanging from a necklace of round and rice-shaped mookaite beads.

This mookaite choker has three very long cigar-shape beads in front — they alternate with round and puffed-rice-shape — in shades of mustard, lilac, burgundy and mixtures
