Today’s crystal is
Ocean Jasper
Also known as Orbicular Jasper, Cellular Jasper, or Atlantis Stone. This one is a favorite for me. Ocean Jasper is one of the most unique stones in sense of appearance, and each and every piece is so very different, ranging through all the colors of the rainbow! The spheres can resemble little planets, and it’s fun to imagine what sort of people would live there if it were real and inhabitable!
Ocean Jasper gets its name from where it is found and how it is mined; off the northwest coast of Madagascar from the base of a cliff, only available at low tide. It is, however, an extremely rare stone, and the entirety of its supply is now completely exhausted as the only known naturally occurring supply had been completely extracted by 2006, so if you have any, be sure to hold onto them!
The stone holds within it a calm, yet stimulating and uplifting energy. It is associated with the heart, throat, and solar plexus chakras. It helps us to break down our own emotional barriers, making it a very nurturing stone with almost maternal-like properties. It’s a wonderful stone for promoting emotional fulfillment and happiness, and it’s energy is capable of lifting one’s mood and allowing you to “go with the flow” just like the tides who helped to create it!
