General Information: Ocean Jasper (also known as Sea Jasper or Cellular Jasper) is an orbicular rhyolite found only along the remote northern coast of Madagascar, accessible only by boat at low tide.

Metaphysical Properties: Ocean Jasper is celebrated as the Stone of Joy and the Atlantis Stone, carrying a serene, uplifting energy that encourages a positive, present-moment awareness and appreciation for the beauty of life. It is believed to release negative patterns of thinking and emotional holding, replacing them with a joyful receptivity and gratitude. Practitioners use it to support the expression of love, to reduce stress and worry, and to encourage a sense of adventure and wonder. Ocean Jasper is also strongly associated with circular completion — the endless rhythms of ocean waves, breath, and life cycles. It supports patience and the trust that everything moves in its own perfect rhythm.
