Large Orbicular, Ocean Jasper, Atlantis Stone heart 72g SN54308

A large Orbicular or Ocean Jasper crystal polished heart.

This Ocean Jasper comes from Madagascar where it is found in only two locations. At one location on the coastline the deposit was often underwater and could only be collected at low tide, this deposit is now mined out. Another newer deposit is about 10 miles inland and it is from there that this material comes from.

In this stone Quartz and Feldspar have formed radial aggregates of needle like crystals and it is these when the stone is polished that show as 'orbs'.

This stone was originally named Ocean Jasper or Orbicular Jasper as it was thought to be a form of Jasper but it is now thought to be a form of Chalcedony.

The heart you see in the photographs is the one you will receive.

Polished pieces like this heart are beautiful additions to a meditation or healing space and make great altar stones.
