Ocean jasper is a rare and colourful material from Madagascar. It has long been described as a variety of orbicular jasper. Found on the north west coast of the world's fourth largest island, the original material is now completely mined out. Jasper is not translucent, unless cut extremely thin. They called it Ocean Jasper® because it resembles the waves and ripples of water and the mine was first discovered along the shoreline, originally accessible only at low tide.
