Mookaite is best described as a fossiliferous sedimentary rock (Windalia Radiolarite) found only near the Kennedy Ranges in Western Australia. With its vibrant reds & yellows, this mineral was formed from deep-ocean mud made of opaline silica skeletons of microorganisms known as Radiolaria. Over time, these sediments turned into land, & cemented into rock by silica precipitated from warm groundwater. Mookaite gets its name from the Aboriginal word mooka meaning 'running waters', likely in reference to the fresh water springs that feed Mooka Creek, where it is mined.
