This is an A-grade Ocean Jasper polished free form from Sofia, Madagascar. Ocean Jasper is an orbicular jasper whose round concentric eyes formed as silica crystallized around scattered nuclei in the rock. It measures 4.05 by 2.32 by 5.37 inches at Mohs 6.5-7, sourced through a community partnership. A favorite love stone for display shelves.
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.
Named for its location on the ocean coast accessible only by sea.
Hand-selected from Sofia, Madagascar.
Ocean jasper has long been used in practices 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, keep it nearby during quiet moments or by the bed for rest. There's no single right way to carry it.
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.
