History and folklore
Ocean jasper comes from the northwest coast of Madagascar, where the original deposit could only be reached by boat at low tide. It was rediscovered in the late 1990s and soon became popular for its round orbs, which form as minerals grow outward in circles. Each piece looks different. Because of its seaside origin and gentle colors, modern witches treat it as a stone of calm, emotional healing and patience, like waves wearing a stone smooth.
