Gemstone Beads, Ocean Jasper, 6mm Round, 1 Strand

It's been a long time since we've seen Ocean Jasper this nice! The beautiful swirls on ocean jasper beads often look like dramatic sea spray and sea foam. Also known as fisheye jasper and orbicular jasper, this semiprecious gemstone comes from a silicified rhyolite flow (a flow transformed into silica). The wavy patterns of green-gray, white, cream, beige, brown, pink, and maroon are timeless favorites on semiprecious beads, cabochons and jewelry components. Long-standing popularity means that good quality rough has become rare. Ocean jasper is believed to teach responsibility and patience, as well as help regulate breathing for meditation.
