*Ocean jasper is one of the rarest gemstones you’ll ever see--rarer than diamonds. First discovered in 1999 and fully mined out, it comes from only one place: a small area in Madagascar. The original two deposits were found underwater, hence the name ocean jasper. There are other varieties of orbicular jasper, jasper with circles and rings, but the specimens from Madagascar feature uniquely clean and smooth dots and concentric circles, making them the most highly valued. They come in a variety of colors and my favorite stones, like this one, feature areas of drusy crystals as well. Learn more about ocean jasper here and there's more history here.

Imperfections are as lovely in a natural gemstone as they are in human beings. You won't find the consistency of glass in my stones. There will be flaws in gems, and inconsistencies between pairs. Relax. Individuality, not uniformity, shows off your gift to the world.
Caring for your jewelry is as simple as protecting your silver from oxidation. A plastic bag will do.
