An extraordinary large Ocean Jasper slab of exceptional quality, displaying some of the most perfectly formed orbicular patterning you will find in this stone. Hundreds of concentric circles and spherical orbs cluster and overlap across the surface in soft whites, cool greys, and sage greens, set against a misty, cloud-like background that gives this piece an almost otherworldly, cosmic quality.
Both faces of this slab are remarkable in their own right. One side shows tightly packed, large bold orbs with crisp definition and strong contrast, while the reverse reveals a softer, more diffused arrangement where the orbs blend and merge into one another like bubbles suspended in sea mist. The natural raw edges have been left completely unworked, preserving the wild, organic outline of the stone and making it a truly one-of-a-kind specimen.
Ocean Jasper of this quality and size is increasingly rare, as the primary mining location on the northwest coast of Madagascar is now largely depleted. This piece represents a genuine collector's opportunity.
