Ocean Jasper is a unique variety of Chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz) or silicified Rhyolite, found only in the coastal regions of Madagascar. It is defined by its stunning orbicular (circular) patterns, which often resemble concentric ripples, sea foam, or waves. Its colour palette is highly variable, including shades of green, pink, yellow, white, cream, and red. It possesses a durable structure and a waxy to vitreous lustre, making it a highly valued choice for cabochons, spheres, and statement jewellery.
Ocean Jasper is known as the "Stone of Joyful Renewal and the Ebb and Flow." It embodies the calming, rhythmic energy of the ocean tides, encouraging one to "go with the flow" and embrace life's emotional highs and lows. It is a deeply nurturing stone that helps to release long-held emotional issues, promoting self-love, patience, and empathy. It brings a powerful sense of joy, contentment, and optimism, acting as a gentle anchor during times of change and bringing emotional honesty to the surface. It is often connected to the ancient wisdom of Atlantis.
Hardness: 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale (making it durable for daily wear).
