Jasper, a gemstone with varied hues and patterns, has a rich history dating back to ancient times. Its name derives from the Greek "iaspis," meaning "speckled stone." This gemstone, often found in shades of red, brown, yellow, or green, is distinguished by its natural patterns and unique properties.

Ancient civilizations used jasper for decorative and ritual purposes. The Egyptians incorporated it into scarabs and jewelry, while the Greeks and Romans associated it with protection and healing. Warriors sometimes wore jasper amulets to ensure their safety on the battlefield.

Mookaite jasper was discovered near the Mooka River in Australia. The Aboriginal word "Mooka" means "running water".
