Ocean Jasper: Meaning, Metaphysical & Healing Properties

Crystals

🌊 Ocean Jasper, also often called Orbicular Jasper, is a type of chalcedony with orb inclusions that remind of the cyclical nature of everything on Earth and the universe. It has a gentle and nurturing energy that encourage service and empathy towards ourselves and others.

It is found along the coast of Madagascar where the mines can only be accessed at low tides, hence the name Ocean Jasper. Specimens can vary in color widely, but the distinctive visual aspect are the presence of the orbs or spheres.

It has been reported that the primary source of Ocean Jasper has been fully mined out, so it will likely become exceedingly rare on the market. It's a bit unclear from my research if newer high-quality deposits have been found.

Interesting fact: Ocean Jasper can at times be found with Druzy Quartz inclusions inside small cavities.
