Ocean Jasper is sometimes called "orbicular jasper" or "moon jewel jasper" because of it's markings that look like eyes, orbs and moons. It was discovered in 1997 and can only be found in one place in the world, Madagascar. Ocean Jasper can be gathered only by boat, at low tide, along a remote shore that is not accessible by any roads. Ocean Jasper is technically an agate, an agate being translucent and a jasper being opaque. That is why some stones seem almost three dimensional.
From a metaphysical perspective this is a very soothing and protective stone. The circular patterns symbolize, as well as help one realize, that we are all interconnected and that all nature is cyclical. The "eyes" or "orbs" symbolize the protective nature of the stone.
