Orgonite Mookaite Sphere | X Large

From one place on earth, and that place is here.

Mookaite comes from Mooka Creek in the Kennedy Ranges of Western Australia, and nowhere else. Mooka is Aboriginal for running waters. It's a fossilised radiolarite — the silica remains of marine microorganisms laid down when this part of the country was seabed, roughly 120 million years ago.

The colours run mustard, burgundy, cream and plum, often in the same slab, and they come from iron oxides in the sediment.

Mookaite is worked with for grounding and for physical vitality — the practical end of things rather than the contemplative. It sits with the root and solar plexus. If you want a stone with a connection to this continent, this is the one.

Not a stone, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Orgonite is a made object: crystals and metal shavings suspended in cured resin. It's based on the work of Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychoanalyst who in the 1930s and 40s theorised a form of energy he called orgone, and built devices layering organic and inorganic material to interact with it. The modern craft version dates to the 1990s.

There's no scientific consensus behind it, and we'd rather say so than imply one. What's true is that each piece is cast individually, so the internal pattern of metal and crystal is never quite repeated, and people keep them near electronics or in workspaces.

If you're drawn to it, it's worth having. If you want a natural mineral, look at black tourmaline or shungite instead.
