This is an AA-grade Ocean Jasper sphere from Sofia, Madagascar. Spheres like this are ground and polished by hand to reveal orb patterns across the full surface. This sphere measures 4.20 inches (107 mm) across at Mohs 6.5-7, fully natural and untreated. A favorite stress relief stone for meditation spaces.
Ocean jasper is a riot of orbs and swirls in green, pink, white, and rust. No two pieces look alike. It's only found in one place on earth, the coast of northwestern Madagascar, and the original mine has been worked out for years.
This piece comes from Sofia, Madagascar.
Named for its location on the ocean coast accessible only by sea.
In the tradition, ocean jasper shows up most often around working through difficult feelings at your own pace, quiet, steady calm, and opening to connection, with yourself and others. It's traditionally linked to the heart and throat chakras. If that resonates, set one on a shelf where your eye lands on it during the day. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Ocean Jasper sits at 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
