Mookaite is a combination of a red and yellow jasper sometimes found with white as well. In the traditions of some American Indian tribes, jasper can help bring rain. In several cultures it is credited with driving away evil, especially spirits or venomous creatures. Crystal users believe it brings calmness, clarity of thought, and mental balance.

Traditional healers consider jasper a "general" healing stone, as well as strengthening the stomach and helping with feminine problems. It is said to help "lower chakras".
