Ocean Jasper is a vibrant, multicolored stone from Madagascar known for its distinctive spherical patterns. While often labeled as orbicular jasper, recent findings identify it as the mineral chalcedony. Select specimens showcase beautiful agate banding or a sparkling layer of tiny clear quartz crystals called druzy, adding unique charm and healing energy to each piece.
Chalcedony, a versatile variety of quartz, is often less known but forms the basis of many semi-precious gemstones. Banded chalcedony is commonly recognized as agate, red chalcedony as carnelian, and black chalcedony as onyx. Ocean Jasper, primarily composed of chalcedony, is notable for its ability to transmit light—a unique trait of chalcedony. In contrast, true jasper is generally opaque and only becomes translucent when cut extremely thin.
