Jasper, Orbicular
Orbicular Jasper is a variety of Jasper that contains circular or orb-like inclusions of quartz or feldspar. Another name for Orbicular Jasper is Ocean Jasper, a type which is only found on the shores of Madagascar at low tide. It is also known as the Atlantis Stone.
Orbicular Jasper is a nurturing, protective stone, which can help encourage patience, release emotional blockages and rid us of pent-up anger. It is a stone of joy and renewed enthusiasm for the cycles of life, especially when worn or placed over the Heart chakra. Orbicular Jasper eases depression and encourages empathy towards others, while at the same time preventing rivalries. When placed over the Solar Plexus chakra, this Jasper will help to remove chronic stress.
Ocean Jasper Physical Healing Energy
Ocean Jasper is considered highly restorative for tissue deterioration of the internal organs, and useful in draining the lymph system of toxins that cause body odor and flatulence. It is thought to help stabilize nutritional absorption of vitamins and minerals, especially in balancing sodium and iodine levels and relieving water retention. It is an excellent aid for maximizing benefits from hydrotherapy and salt baths. ‘
Jasper water is particularly useful as a gem elixir because it does not over stimulate the body. It is soothing for the digestive system, calms nausea and vomiting, and strengthens the stomach. It may be made by the indirect method, or by letting the stone soak in demineralized water overnight.
Ocean Jasper can be used to ease problems with the thyroid, seasickness and other inner-ear disturbances, and may be useful in treatments for eczema and skin disorders.
Ocean Jasper Emotional Healing Energy
Like tides that ebb and flow along a shore, Ocean Jasper brings to the surface long-hidden and unresolved emotional issues and uses its gentle nurturing energies to bring healing. It encourages being honest with oneself when confronting problems and accepting responsibility for one’s actions. Over time it inspires patience, self-love and empathy for others, and creates a more hopeful attitude toward the future.
