About Ocean Jasper: This new rock has been found along the northwest coast of Madagascar after years of unsuccessful searching (a fisherman long ago told stories of having seen it). The deposit formed similar to a rhyolite flow but has been totally resilicated. The rhyolitic spheres or orbs come in an astonishing array of colors and color combinations. The background can be white, pink,, green, red or yellow. Botryoidal formations as well as white and deep green druzy are also common. The deposit, being located at the edge of the ocean, can only be seen and collected from at low tide. This remote area has no roads so the material must be transported to civilization by boat. Ocean Jasper is produced from only one mine near Marovato. It is a rare treat to own a piece of Ocean Jasper.
