![]() How Can You Tell If Ocean Jasper Is Real? ![]() But you might be sold the wrong kind of Jasper, or sold some that has had dye added to it for more eye-catching colors. To be frank, you're not going to find fake Ocean Jasper. Sure, other kinds of Orbicular Jasper is called Ocean Jasper and sold for a higher price, but those aren't exactly fakes. ![]() Okay we don't want you to feel like this is a comp-out answer but natural Ocean Jasper is everything we explained above.Īnd the opposite of this question, "what is fake ocean jasper" is really much more interesting.Įspecially since I've never even heard of such a thing. Since the name Ocean Jasper is just a fancy trade name for Orbicular Jasper, it has the same chemical makeup as other Jasper.īut since the fact chemical makeup changes between stone, and thus they have unique patterns, we can only probably tell you that they're made up of Silicone Dioxide with highly silicified rhyolite or tuff mixed throughout. This kind of patter is pretty common in silica-rich Rhyolites like Rainforest Jasper, and even in fossils like Kambaba Jasper! The term "spherulites" is a pretty fancy way of saying that it has orb like patterns all over its body. Without getting too technical too fast, Ocean Jasper is composed of fibers of silica forming three dimensional radiating patterns - spherulites of fibrous Chalcedony. While we just covered that this variety of Jasper is technically a member of the Quartz family, that doesn't really help you know what it's made of. Given enough time, it's possible the stone will be worn down.īut hey, it means that a vinegar bath is totally okay! What Is Ocean Jasper Made Of? So it won't breaks Ocean Jasper's covalent bonds then nothing will.ĭespite it being so strong, we still have to suggest you avoid putting your crystal in acid. ![]() In fact, members of the Quartz family are unaffected by sulfuric acid.įor reference there aren't many acids in the world more acidic than sulfuric acid. Since Ocean Jasper is part of the Quartz family (we discuss that more down below) it doesn't mind acid. Not that your water has snake venom or special Coachella ingredients mixed in. When we say acidic, we are simply referring to the pH level of the water. Other crystals like Rose Quartz don't mind it at all. Some crystals Selenite completely dissolve if introduced to acid. Our favorite method for dealing with chalkiness on a crystal is to give it a vinegar bath.īut! Not all crystals play nice with vinegar. Having a thin white layer on your crystal just leaves it feeling a bit dull and lifeless, and we don't want that! That same kind of build up can happen on your crystal too if you let it soak in calcium and limestone heavy water. That stuff is limestone buildup from your local tap water. Unless your city has really good water filtering, then your shower head probably has some white stuff built up on it. If there's a water based problem you run into with Ocean Jasper it's probably gonna be due to tap water. ![]() There's really only one type of water that could hurt your Ocean Jasper, although for the sake of avoiding be overly dramatic. Plus if we did, we'd probably drink it instead of using it on piece of pretty stone. Sure, crystal clear spring water won't harm it but most of us don't have any of kind of water laying around. Now that doesn't mean it's safe from ALL types of water. Ocean Jasper can get wet and will not be harmed because it's not water soluble. Like pretty much every single crystal in the Quartz family, this crystal is totally fine with a little bit of water. This is because this Ocean Jasper is a very strong crystal. Ocean Jasper can be submerged under water for decades without dissolving in any noticeable way. ![]()
