Ocean Jasper is an orbicular jasper and agate material found in Madagascar. The stone has a recognizable pattern which is often composed or circular or semi-circular orbs, and often features shades like green, pink, yellow, and white. This particular pendant is an oval shaped stone displaying a soft mossy green background with pink and white orbs across it. It has been set in a contemporary open setting, which lays the stone on a back layer of sterling silver but keeps the edges and face of the stone open. The jeweler's epoxy use to attach the stone to the silver back has a high level of durability and is baked onto the stone, making it extremely durable. This pendant is made by artist Tim Grasso, our in-house lapidary and wirewrap artist.

PHYSICAL: Ocean Jasper is an orbicular material found only on the island of Madagascar. Although it is called a jasper, and quite often may be composed of all or mostly jasper, top grades of ocean jasper can also contain a significant amount of agate as well. The orbicular pattern of Ocean Jasper is distinctive, and should not be confused with other orbicular jaspers, nor with patterned rhyolites.
HEALING: Ocean Jasper is associated with stress release and enjoyment of life. Like all Jaspers, it is also considered to be a nurturing and grounding mineral.

Care for gemstones in sterling silver jewelry: 

As with all natural stones set in silver, these jewelry pieces should be removed when taking a shower, swimming, or entering a hot springs. Water (especially hot water) can damage natural materials and even cause settings to fail. This is especially true with gemstone rings!

*Though many gems and minerals have historical and cultural associations with healing properties, these items are sold for wear in jewelry, display, study, and collector interest only.
