This is probably what I consider the holy grail of my mineral collection. I've been looking for an ocean jasper sphere with cool-toned colours and a well-defined orbicular pattern for 6 years! This material is very sought-after and extremely difficult to obtain. My parents and I each gave it a name and that is: Xerces Sylvester Cosmos. I chose Xerces because of the beautiful subtle blue hues that remind me of the extinct Lycaenid butterfly. My mom chose Cosmos because I have pretty much searched the entire universe for this mineral and my dad chose Sylvester because he's random. Lmao. While not being a very big sphere, it holds a special place in my heart. Never for sale!
