Stone of comfort, nurturing and peace
 
Ocean jasper is occasionally called orbicular jasper in reference to the orb or bull's-eye patterns that can occur which are also seen in other jaspers. The name ocean jasper was given to those orbicular jaspers that can be collected on a remote shore of Madagascar only at low tide as the rest of the time the ocean conceals them.
 
Ocean jasper is full of positive gentle nurturing energy that helps anyone who wears or holds it regularly to develop self-love and empathy for others.
