About this stone

Found only along Madagascar's coast at low tide, Ocean Jasper radiates joyful, nurturing energy. Its orbicular patterns promote patience, circular breathing, and a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of nature.

Geology · Formation

How it forms: Rhythmic deposition in sea cavities.

Ocean Jasper is a multicolored chalcedony found only on the coast of Madagascar. It forms as a variety of chalcedony with spherical (orbicular) patterning. Rhythmic radial growth of silica fibers around a central point creates 'bullseye' or flower-like patterns. The Result: A dense stone with hypnotic circles and wavy patterns.
