Ocean Jasper is a vibrant, multicolored stone from Madagascar, renowned for its distinctive spherical patterns. While often described as an orbicular jasper, recent research indicates that Ocean Jasper is primarily composed of chalcedony, a variety of quartz. Some specimens feature agate banding or drusy coatings of tiny clear quartz crystals, commonly known as “druzy.”
Chalcedony, the mother stone of many semi-precious gems, forms the basis of stones such as agate (banded chalcedony), carnelian (red chalcedony), and onyx (black chalcedony). Ocean Jasper’s ability to transmit light is a key characteristic of chalcedony, distinguishing it from true jasper, which is typically opaque and only translucent when cut extremely thin. Its captivating patterns, rich colors, and light-transmitting properties make Ocean Jasper highly prized by collectors, gem enthusiasts, and jewelry makers.
