@SharkE. Seems like I've heard of it, probably from Jay King. Can't remember what it looks like.

I looked it up...Australian jasper. Looks like it can be about any color. I think I may have a pendant and earrings.

I have a strand of Mookaite beads I bought from ShopLC. The stone is jasper from the Mooka Creek region in Australia. To me it has autumnal colors:

Outback mining in Mooka Creek, Australia:

Mooka means "running waters" in Aborigine.

saw a real pretty bracelet that was pink and yellow. Don't think it's too awful pricey not like sleeping beauty, etc.

I want a big ol' rhodrocrosite pendant too. One I saw online, sold !

well...........c*ap !!!!! put that with a open neck white blouse would be so pretty.

@SharkE. There's a store in Old Town thst has rather unusual stones in jewelry. It's approximately in the middle of the block across the street from the front of the church. They specialize in charms.

You can find a lot of mookaite jewelry on ebay and etsy. Bought a mookaite bead stretch bracelet for about $12 on ebay and it's one of my favorites. There's such a nice range of earthy colors in mookaite.

@Kachina624 : Since you are turquoise fan, ShopLC had a show featuring Sleeping Beauty turquoise on Saturday. Did you watch it?

@Margui. No, I'm somewhat of a turquoise snob and have never cared for Sleeping Beauty. Real collectors stick up their noses at it. Turquoise is judged by its color, matrix pattern and matrix color. It's the matrix that gives the stone "character". I have very little turquoise without it. Also SB is soft and very poor quality.

I think SBT looks fake, almost like it could be plastic. Must be the resin stabilizers they use in it that makes it feel that way, too.

@Margui

I don't own much SBT. I have a pair of small studs and this bracelet I bought from ShopLC several weeks ago when they had a SBT smackdown. I didn't buy this because of the stone, though the color is very vivid and beautiful, but I got it because I like the design of it. I took it to my jeweler and had him replace that lobster claw with a large spring ring (senorita) clasp instead. Easier for me to put on and I think it adds to the look of it, too.
