What is Tigerskin Jasper?

 What is Tigerskin Jasper?

Tiger Skin Jasper is a type of jasper, which is a form of chalcedony, and it is known for its distinctive appearance that often resembles the patterns found on a tiger's skin. This jasper variety exhibits interesting and intricate banding, veining, and colorations that evoke the characteristic stripes of a tiger.

Tiger Skin Jasper typically displays a mix of earthy tones, including shades of brown, tan, cream, and gray. The patterns on the stone often resemble the stripes seen on a tiger's coat, giving it its name.

Like other jaspers, Tiger Skin Jasper is composed primarily of silicon dioxide. It may also contain various mineral impurities and inclusions, contributing to its unique appearance.

Jasper forms through the deposition of silica-rich fluids in cavities or fractures within rocks. The intricate patterns and colors in Tiger Skin Jasper are a result of the mineral content and conditions during its formation.

Tiger Skin Jasper is sometimes associated with grounding energy and balance. Tiger Skin Jasper may be thought to evoke qualities associated with strength, courage, and protection.

 What is Mookaite? Mookaite, also often called Mookaite Jasper, is a type of Jasper that is found in Western Australia. It is known for its distinctive colors including varying shades of red, burgundy, mustard yellow, cream, and brown.  The name "Mookaite" is derived from the Mooka Creek in the Kennedy Ranges, where the stone is predominantly found. The area where Mookaite was found was once covered in seawater, once the sea waters receded, the microscopic remains of an aquatic organism known as radiolaria began to dry out and compress and mix with iron and silica over time. Because of the radiolaria within it, the scientific name for this crystal is Windalia Radiolarite .  It is believed that Mookaite formed about 120 million years ago, and mining for it began in the 1960s.  Mookaite is believed by some to be associated with improved problem-solving abilities and stress management.  Here are some images of some jewelry I've made that includes Mookaite.  Yo...
