KOMBOLOI WORRY BEADS
WorryBeads or kombolói, kompoloi is a string of beads manipulated with one or two hands and used to pass time in Greek and Cypriot culture. Unlike the similar prayer beads used in many religious traditions, worry beads have no religious or ceremonial purpose.
This Australian jasper is a warm, earthy flood of reds, yellows and browns. It is formed as sediment in erosion zones and as a filler in cracks. Mookaite is named for where is was first found — in outcrops, principally on Mooka Station (a sheep farm of approximately 700,000 acres), on the west side of the Kennedy Range in Western Australia.
