GEOLOGICAL

Chalcedony is a broad term describing microcrystalline forms of Silica. Read more about the Chalcedony family in our article HERE.

Jasper is any type of Chalcedony which is opaque (ie solid, not translucent, light doesn’t pass through the material). Jasper has many different known varieties. It can be a single colour, multicoloured, spotted, striped or speckled. It is pigmented by mineral inclusions, mostly iron oxides.

Orbicular Jasper is Jasper with colourful circular or ‘orb’ patterns. Orbicular Jaspers form in highly silicified Rhyolite or Tuff. Quartz and Feldspar in the material crystallize in radial or needle-like forms, creating the base or ‘seed’ for the orb shapes.

Ocean Jasper (and Atlantis Jasper) is a tradename for a specific type of Orbicular Jasper that was only found in one area off the coast of Madagascar. It was first discovered in 1922, but the location was lost soon after, for over 75 years. The deposit was only visible and reachable by boat during low tide.

When it initially arrived on the market around 2000, the colours and circular patterns were extremely vivid, however, later material was less colourful and had more banded patterning. The mining of the depleted deposit stopped in 2006. Older material from the original deposit is thus rare and valuable.

Jasper:

Jasper is the ‘Supreme Nurturer’. It supports during times of stress, bringing in tranquillity and a sense of wholeness. Balancing yin and yang energy, Jasper aligns the physical, emotional and mental bodies. It provides protection and grounds energy while clearing electromagnetic smog and environmental pollution.

It can bring the courage needed to deal with problems assertively and boost your determination while simultaneously encouraging you to be honest with yourself. Additionally, Jasper is a great stone for dreamwork and trances as it assists with dream recall. Prolongs sexual pleasure.

 

In addition to the above, Ocean Jasper is said to be an excellent travel companion, especially for water voyages. It aligns and activates the Throat, Heart & Solar Plexus chakras. This powerful connection creates a high-energy channel through which we can combine our will with our emotions – thus opening the door to joy, happiness and emotional stability. A wonderful stone for self-love work.
