Ocean jasper is the name for a mineral mixture with varying proportions of CHALCEDON - jasper and RHYOLITH . This quartz VARIETY was discovered in Madagascar in the 1990s and was very attractive, especially when cut. Especially the stones with the so-called "eyes" (SPHäROLITHEN) were highly prized and were initially declared as "AUGENACHAT". Later, the name "OCEANJASPIS" established itself on the market.
In the meantime, only inferior material comes from this site and it looks like the time of the beautiful stones is over.
Beautiful "hand flatterer" WITH SPHäROLITHEN - very good polish.
