Raw Crystal Gemstone Tea Strainer - Mookaite

This tea strainer is set with raw mookaite, an Australian jasper known for its mix of earthy reds, mustard yellows and cream. The stainless steel mesh basket strains loose leaf tea over a mug or pot and lifts away when it is ready. Mookaite is naturally patterned, so each strainer shows a different blend of those warm, earthy tones.
