Ocean Wave Jasper 1st Grade large pebble (palm) with a little quartz inclusion.
Approximate measurements: 2.24" x 1.82" x 0.94"
Weight: 3.5 oz (96g)
Ocean Wave Jasper has a similar color palette to Ocean Jasper® but lacks orbs, displaying wavy bands instead. It was mined from 2002 to 2006
Ocean Jasper® is a trademarked name for a multicolored stone from Madagascar, typically with spherical patterning. Although commonly described as an orbicular jasper, the most recent research suggests it is the mineral chalcedony instead. Some pieces have agate banding or druses of clear quartz, a coating of tiny crystals, known more commonly as “druzy”.
The variety of quartz known as chalcedony is often unfamiliar to people. It is actually the mother stone of many semiprecious gems: banded chalcedony is better known as agate, red as carnelian, and black as onyx, etc. Its capacity to transmit light is a characteristic of chalcedony. By definition jasper is not translucent, unless cut extremely thin.
