Common Sources:
True Ocean Jasper is found only in Madagascar, along the northwestern coast in a remote area accessible only at low tide. These deposits are now limited, and most Ocean Jasper on the market today comes from earlier extractions or nearby secondary veins.
Formation:
Ocean Jasper forms in silica-rich hydrothermal environments, with high concentrations of chalcedony, quartz, and mineral inclusions like feldspar and iron oxides. It is known for its distinctive orbicular patterns, flowing bands, and earthy colour combinations, created by mineral layering over time.
Interesting Fact:
Ocean Jasper was rediscovered in 1999 and immediately captivated collectors for its orb-like inclusions and sea-inspired palette. Despite its name, it is not formed in the ocean — the name refers to the coastal location of its mine.
