Ocean Jasper

LJASPER is an unusual Jasper variely found only in Madagascar. It is a silicon dioxide mineral with a hexagonal crystal system and a hardness of 6.5 to 7. Ocean Jasper's colors include vivid shades of white, green, pink, red and black. Its patterns are wild and indescribable.

Ocean Jasper is a stone of joy and high spirits. It opens one's awareness to the benevolent aspects of life and lifts one's mood. It stimulates the solar plexus, heart and throat chakras, conveying the urge to feel, speak and act positively. It supports the expression of love, and it helps one to realize what and whom one truly loves. It banishes complacency and the habit of taking one's loved ones, health, prosperity or security for granted. It brings consciousness to the present moment, relieving worry about the future or bitterness about the past. It allows for the release of stress and escapism, helping one to value the here and now. Ocean Jasper is helpful to those who suffer from depression or addictive behaviors by making them conscious of what they are doing and opening their eyes to a better reality. Using Ocean Jasper in meditation will help one let go of thoughts and become centered.

Ocean Jasper harmonizes with all types of Jasper and Quartz, as well as Amethyst, Sugilite and Charoite. Lepidolite and Amblygonite increase its relaxing influence. Strombolite can add humor to Ocean Jasper's high spirits.
