Ocean Jasper/Agate or Moon Jewel Jasper – ORBICULAR

Stone: 2 inches
Pendant: 3 inches

Made with 22 gauge square non tarnish copper
(can come with or without black cord)

Properties:
Ocean Jasper is very soothing and helps to lift the veil so one can see how to love one’s self as well as others. It is very healing of the emotions and brings peace of mind. It helps with acceptance of responsibility and increases patience. Ocean jasper heightens awareness in addition to balancing and stabilizing one’s ability to handle the input from increased awareness. The circular patterns on ocean jasper symbolize and help us realize that we are all interconnected and nature is a cyclical pattern. It can also help with circular breathing for healing or meditation. Being a type of jasper, ocean jasper is a very protective stone, and any orbs (“eyes”) enhance this in regard to protection from the “evil eye.”

Ocean Jasper is a stone of joy and high spirits. It opens one’s awareness to the benevolent aspects of life and lifts one’s mood through its positive vibrations. When one is under its influence, it is difficult to take one’s problems with dissatisfaction as seriously as one normally does. Ocean Jasper helps lift the veil of negativity which many people unconsciously wear over their eyes, and when this veil is lifted, it is much easier to see and appreciate the many blessings of life. Ocean Jasper stimulates the solar plexus, heart and throat chakras with its beneficial vibrations, conveying the urge to feel, speak and act more positively, it supports the expression of love in one’s words and deeds, and it helps one to realize what and whom one truly loves. It banishes complacency and the habit of taking one’s loved ones, health, prosperity or security for granted. It is brings one’s consciousness to the present moment, relieving worry about the future or bitterness about the past. It allows the release of stress and escapism, helping one understand the value of the here and now.

Type:
In 1997 a gorgeous new find from Madagascar called “Ocean Jasper.” (Some are calling it “Orbicular Jasper” in reference to its colorful orbs, and some “Moon Jewel Jasper.”) But “Ocean Jasper” seems most fitting, as it was found right along the shore, actually being covered by water at high tide, and only accessible at low tide!

Ocean Jasper is an agate by the standard definition (agate being translucent and jasper being opaque). Ocean Jasper is rarely opaque. It was decided to call the material a jasper because rhyolitic patterns have been associated with the jasper category in the past and because “jasper” is listed as the mineral resource in the mining claims owned by Madagascar Minerals.
