Ocean Jasper is a very rare and highly collectible stone, mined in one place in the world--off the coast of Marovato, Madagascar. The deposit is so close to the ocean that it can only be mined in low tide. With no roads in this remote area, material must be removed and transported by boat. Ocean Jasper is known for its beautiful orbicular designs.
Ocean Jasper got its name both from its proximity to the ocean and because the patterns look like foaming bubbles.
Long ago, a local fisherman told of the beautiful rock formation he had seen on the beach and people had been looking for it ever since. Its discovery at the turn of the millennium, and the fact that it is found under the ocean, have caused some to nickname it the "Atlantis Stone".
Ocean jasper is also known as "Moon Jewel Jasper". Madagascar natives call it "Snake Agate". The circular patterns are said that all of nature is interconnected, and that nature is cyclical.
Ocean Jasper is said to promote patience and brings peace of mind. Said to be a stone of strength and renewal. Ocean Jasper is often associated with the Heart Chakra.
