Ocean jasper is found only along the northwest coast of Madagascar near the village of Marovato. The deposits sit at the ocean's edge and can only be mined during low tide.
The orbs form when silica-rich solutions deposit in spherical layers within volcanic rock cavities. Different mineral traces create the varied colors within each circle.
Ocean jasper rates 6.5-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for rings, bracelets, and pendants worn daily. It resists scratching better than softer stones like turquoise or opal.
