What is Ocean Jasper?

Ocean Jasper is a Quartz mineral. It has fibrous spherulites formed as a result of extensive alteration and silicification of former tuffs. These structures tend to have radial growth with a central point which give this stone its circular orbicular pattern. They also have some inclusions in the form of grains of Chalcedony and other Quartz minerals. There are also many different types of Ocean Jasper that have varying colorations due to different environmental factors. Some feature green, pink and white colors with less defined orbs and others have a wider range of colors including multiple sphere patterns.

Ocean Jasper is a silicon dioxide mineral. Its hardness on the Mohs scale is a 7 which makes it immune to scratches by most other minerals. The crystal also has an uneven fracture when it gets damaged.

Ocean Jasper’s name was inspired by its very own ocean wave-like appearance. It was also first discovered along the shoreline which might’ve contributed to the association.
