I love Mookaite. It just makes me smile. What's interesting is that one of my daughters was going through some of her stones and told me that her favorite was Mookaite because it "makes her happy". This particular batch is the best I've ever seen so I ordered twice. The colors are so varied, the quality is stunning & they are ethically sourced. win, win, win!

This batch is from Australia. It came to us through a direct source, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. AA on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradeWe work directly with the mine or workshop, with no intermediaries in between. The relationship is personal, pricing is transparent, and we can speak to each batch. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
