Where Ocean Jasper Is Found
Ocean Jasper is found exclusively along the northwestern coast of Madagascar, near the village of Marovato. It is mined at low tide from deposits that were once accessible only by boat, giving the stone its name. These coastal deposits formed in ancient volcanic flows where silica‑rich fluids created orbicular patterns over millions of years.

-
