New launches this week! Sunset Mookaite,
Polychrome Jasper & Red Lightning Agate 
SUNSET MOOKAITE is a new discovery from the Southwestern United States. The name was provided to us by the company that mines the rough material, a cool perk you get when you unearth a new material. Sunset Mookaite has the characteristic banding and ribbons found in classic Mookaite, but the colors are a little softer and muted. More like a sunset. The material shares many characteristics of another stone typed mined from the region Hickoryite. Metaphysically, Mookaite is thought to assist with calming and to promote versatility.
