About Mookaite "Jasper"

Why is jasper in quotes above? It's complicated. Quoted from mindat.org:

"The term 'Mookaite' is an unofficial, locally coined name for a silicified porcelanite which forms in the weathering profile of a geological formation known as Windalia Radiolarite (WR), a Lower Cretaceous sedimentary unit that outcrops over much of the Carnarvon Basin in Western Australia.

Mookaite is variously, and incorrectly, described as chert, opalite, chalcedony or combinations of the three.
See also pink opal.

From a strictly geological perspective however, Mookaite is best defined as a silicified type of Radiolarite whose silification is opaline to chalcedonic."

So, what does this mean for its metaphysical properties? We recently found an expert on Mindat.org's discussion who said that mookaite is primarily included chalcedony. We are going with chalcedony, since in the end, it is a silicified rock.

Chalcedony Metaphysical Properties:

• Balances the energies of the body, mind, spirit, and emotions
• Encourages brotherhood, brotherly love
• Has a nurturing energy that fosters benevolence and good will
• Helps to alleviate sadness, irritability
• Enhances responsiveness and generosity
• *Some say there is a chakra association with the Crown
• Astrological Association: Cancer, Sagittarius, and some say Pisces
• Numerical Vibration: 9

Chemical Composition:

• Silicon Dioxide- SiO₂
