Ocean Jasper
Ocean Jasper, also known as Orbicular Jasper or Sea Jasper, is a distinctive and highly sought-after variety of Jasper that is known for its unique orbicular patterns, swirling colors, and spherical inclusions. This fascinating gemstone exhibits a wide range of colors, including shades of green, pink, red, orange, yellow, cream, and white, often mixed together in stunning combinations that evoke images of the ocean and seashore. The orbs or "eyes" can vary in size and are set against a background that may be opaque or translucent.
