OCEAN JASPER- PHYSICAL & METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Ocean Jasper from Madagascar. This gemstone variety is silicified rhyolite flow from off the northwest coast of Madagascar. It can only be seen and collected at low tide. The area has no road, so the material must be transported to civilization by boat. This material was first written about in 1922 and then the location was actually lost for almost 80 years! Ocean Jasper was named because of its resembalance to the foam of the ocean as it recedes back into the ocean, with its wavy patterns of green-gray, white, cream, beige, brown, pink and maroon. Ocean Jasper is said to encourage patience and acceptance of responsibility. It is a very protective stone and a good emotional healer bringing tranquillity and a feeling of wholeness.
