Ocean Jasper is a member of the Chalcedony family (a quartz variety) with a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7. It's a modern trade name, not a formal geologic term, popularized for orbicular silicified rhyolite from a single coastal deposit in northwest Madagascar, accessible only by sea at low tide.
Jasper, agate, and chalcedony are all microcrystalline quartz; jasper is typically the opaque variety. The orbicular patterns form from silica-rich solutions filling cavities in volcanic rocks, with concentric layers building outward over time.
The original ocean jasper mine has been worked out for years. Newer material comes from a secondary deposit nearby.
Ocean Jasper is traditionally associated with joy, emotional healing, and steady love. Long held to support a softer heart and gentler self-talk.
Many people work with this stone for moving through difficult feelings at their own pace and opening to connection, with themselves and others. Hold one over your chest for a few breaths when you need to soften.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
