This lovely Ocean Jasper from Madagascar has a white background with beige coloured orbs. The orbs are surrounded with a semi translucent grey lining. This grey colour almost has a hint of purple! Some of the orbs in this Ocean Jasper have white spots in the centres.
Ocean Jasper is a form of Orbicular Chalcedony with small, tight, concentric ring formations.
It contains variably-coloured orbs or spherical inclusions or zones. In highly silicified rhyolite or tuff, quartz and feldspar crystallize in radial aggregates of needle-like crystals which provide the basis or seed for the orbicular structure seen in this kind of 'jasper'.
It is a very rare material which has since all been mined out and is one of the most scarce and collectable materials in the world.
This gemstone pendant will be beautifully presented in a complimentary gift box.
