Ocean Jasper, also known as orbicular jasper, is a type of jasper characterized by its distinctive orb-like patterns or "bull’s eyes". It's a variety of chalcedony and is found exclusively on the shores of northeastern Madagascar. The stone's name and appearance are reminiscent of the ocean, drawing from its coastal origin and the swirling patterns that mimic waves.  Here's a more detailed look at Ocean Jasper: ·       Formation: Ocean Jasper is formed through the precipitation of silica in lava flows, creating the unique circular patterns.  ·       Appearance: It often features a green background with swirling orbs or "bulls eyes" of pink, green, yellow, and brown. Some pieces may have a reddish-brown, yellowish-gray, or blackish background.  ·       Location: The deposits are found on the coastline of the Ambolobozo Peninsula in northern Madagascar, accessible only by boat and during low tide.  ·       History: Ocean Jasper was discovered in the early 2000s along the coast of Madagascar and gained popularity for its beauty and unique patterns. It was first introduced to the public at the Tucson Gem Show in 2000.  ·       Uses: Ocean Jasper is valued for its aesthetic appeal and is used in jewelry, as a decorative stone, and for its perceived healing properties.
