Ocean Jasper®
Sphere
While Ocean Jasper® only comes from one place in the world, the northwestern corner of Madagascar, there are two distinct deposits, about ten miles apart: Marovato, along the shoreline, and Kabamby, further inland. While the veins in Marovato are currently tapped out, the mine at Kabamby is still productive, yielding a distinctly yellow and green stone, sometimes red and cream. Its orbs tend to be larger than the Marovato material and can produce a unique geometric patterning where they touch one another.

Ocean Jasper® is associated metaphysically with purification, balancing “parts to wholes”, like working on a specific chakra and then helping it integrate back into the energy body, and emotional, mental, and physical well being.

One end of this sphere has very large yellow orbs, with touches of green, transitioning to smaller ones, with bands of reddish pink. The other side has complete pink and red orbs, against a background of dark green quartz flowers. There are many voids on the surface, spaces left open between orbs as they formed. Almost all Ocean Jasper® has natural fractures, due to the brittle nature of chalcedony. There are a few small ones on this piece.
The sphere measures approximately 2 1/4" across and weighs approximately 0.81 lbs.
