Mookaite rounds in 6mm come strung on a 15-inch strand, giving you a solid working length of this warm, earthy Australian jasper in a versatile size that suits everything from fine knotted necklaces to stacked bracelets.
Mookaite is known for its natural layering of deep burgundy, mustard yellow, cream, and dusty rose — no two beads read quite the same, so the strand has an organic, variegated look straight off the string.

What to make with them
The 6mm round is a reliable size for single-strand knotted necklaces where each bead gets its moment, and it pairs well with seed bead spacers in loom or stringing work where you want a gemstone focal rhythm without overwhelming the design.
Description
Mookaite jasper is a type of jasper, a variety of chert, that is sourced from the Kennedy Ranges in Western Australia near Mooka Creek. While often called "jasper," it's technically not a true jasper, as it's formed from the lithified skeletal remains of microscopic marine organisms called radiolaria. This results in its distinctive, colorful patterns and earthy tones.
