Ocean JasperTM
Rough
While Ocean JasperTM only comes from one place in the world, the northwestern corner of Madagascar, there are two distinct deposits, about ten miles apart: Marovato, along the shoreline, and Kabamby, further inland. The Matovato material is the better known, with its rainbow color palette and large variety of orbs, from completely spherical to eye like bands.
While the mine at Kabamby is still productive, the veins in Marovato are currently tapped out. Ocean JasperTM is a modern discovery, mined primarily from 1999-2006. A new vein was discovered in 2013 but has already been exhuasted.

Ocean JasperTM is associated metaphysically with purification, balancing “parts to wholes”, like working on a specific chakra and then helping it integrate back into the energy body, and emotional, mental, and physical well being.

This large piece of Ocean JasperTM rough measures approximately 6 3/4" X 4 1/4" X 7 1/4" and weighs approximately 8.58 lbs. One side of the piece is entirely covered in small translucent spheres, brown to golden yellow in color. It is surrounded by translucent chalcedony, with brown and white orbs. The rest of the piece is white, green, and gold, with a few pockets of pale green druzy quartz crystals.
