Learn More About Ocean Jasper

Ocean jasper is a type of orbicular jasper that is found along the northwest coast of Madagascar. It is known for its unique and colorful orb-like patterns, which can include shades of green, pink, white, and red. Some pieces of ocean jasper may appear translucent due to the presence of agate or chalcedony within the stone. While jasper is typically opaque, the presence of these additional minerals can give ocean jasper a translucent or semi-translucent appearance. Despite this variation in transparency, ocean jasper is still considered a true form of jasper due to its composition and mineral content. The distinctive patterns and vibrant colors of ocean jasper make it a popular choice for jewelry making and decorative pieces.

Ocean jasper is primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is the chemical compound that makes up the mineral jasper. In addition to silicon dioxide, ocean jasper also contains various other minerals such as chalcedony, agate, and calcite. These additional minerals contribute to the unique colors and patterns found in ocean jasper, including shades of green, pink, white, and red. The orbicular patterns in ocean jasper are formed by the concentric growth of these different minerals within the stone. Overall, the composition and mineral content of ocean jasper give it its distinctive appearance and make it a sought-after gemstone for jewelry making and decorative purposes.
