Brecciated Mookaite Jasper Thick Display Slab from Australia (Polished One Side)

Description

This is a beautiful polished thick display slab of brecciated Mookaite Jasper from Mooka Creek, Gascoyne Junction, Western Australia. One side has been cut flat and polished to a glossy finish. This material is from an area in the Mookaite Jasper deposit that experienced significant tectonic disturbances which fragmented the Jasper. Following the natural fragmentation of this rock, ground water containing silica assisted in the natural cementing process of the fragmented Mookaite, resulting in this beautiful breccia.

Mookaite Jasper is a stunning, multi-colored stone with vibrant hues of reds, yellow and purples. It is often called brecciated Jasper or brecciated Mookaite. It is found in the 110 million year old Windalia Radiolarite formation.

Weighs 15 oz or 0.94 lb (426g) and measures 6.4 x 5.1 x 0.46 inches (164 x 131 x 11.6 mm)
