Each bead displays unique swirling patterns, making every piece a miniature work of natural art. The natural stone is carefully shaped into flat round disc (coin) beads – a distinctive shape that sits beautifully in layered designs – then faceted on both sides to enhance its natural color patterns and luster.

Each strand measures approximately thirty-eight centimeters in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping.

🇦🇺✨ What are Mookaite Faceted Flat Round Disc / Coin Beads?
These vibrant beads feature genuine Australian mookaite in a unique faceted coin shape.
About Mookaite:
Mookaite is a variety of jasper found exclusively in the Kennedy Ranges of Western Australia, near Mooka Creek. The name comes from the Aboriginal word "Mooka," meaning "running waters." It formed approximately 100 million years ago from the silica-rich remains of microscopic marine organisms called radiolarians. Unlike many other jaspers that are limited to two or three colors, mookaite is famous for its wide and vibrant color range – from deep burgundy and crimson to bright mustard gold, creamy white, and soft mauve. Due to its limited geographic source, genuine mookaite is highly prized by jewelry makers and collectors worldwide.
About the Coin / Disc Shape:
The flat round disc (coin) shape is a versatile bead silhouette that sits beautifully in layered designs, multi-strand bracelets, and as spacer elements between larger beads. When faceted on both flat surfaces, these beads catch light from every angle while maintaining a low profile perfect for delicate work.
Size:
These beads are approximately 4mm in diameter, making them ideal for delicate designs, intricate patterns, and spacer elements.
