Ocean Jasper Gemstone Beads

Ocean Jasper is a stunning, orbicular gemstone, primarily harvested from the shores of Madagascar. It showcases a unique pattern of concentric circles or 'orbs' in a marvelous array of colors. The gemstone is a type of chalcedony and gets its name from its ocean-like patterns and the location where it is primarily found. Its vibrant, multi-colored designs are due to the silicification of rhyolite and ash, along with the mineral-rich waters in which it forms.

Facts: Ocean Jasper was only known from a few localities, but it wasn't until it was rediscovered off the northwest coast of Madagascar at the turn of the millennium that it gained international fame. Its rarity and limited availability make each bead a treasure, as the deposit itself is present only in the sea cliffs and can only be mined during low tide, adding a sense of mystery and allure to its already captivating appearance.

Metaphysical / Holistic: Ocean Jasper is believed to nurture and protect, often used in healing and spiritual practices. It promotes relaxation, happiness, and a sense of wholeness, embodying the rhythmic calm of the ocean from which it gets its name.
