I had started 5 tumblers a few weeks ago,and 3 came out of polish today.One was ocean jasper, this isnt high quality,but I didnt pay a high quality price,either.But I still like it.I've been having heck getting decent pics today,couldnt capture the shine on my pet wood pics outside earlier today, and couldnt get these like I wanted tonight,most likely me and not camera.

Pic taken outside today to show truer colors.

I think they look great as well. I love Ocean Jasper! Question for the masses ... Is Ocean Jasper AKA Orbicular Jasper? I am probably just having a duh moment as I cannot seem to find that information on my own.
	You can stare at a rock for hours and never see the same thing twice.

Hi! So far as I know, orbicular jasper describes the pattern in the jasper, i.e., round inclusions. Ocean jasper comes from a particular location, or maybe vein, in Madagascar. Some Ocean Jasper is orbicular in nature, some doesn't seem to be.

All the above being said, I think sometimes ocean jasper is called orbicular jasper, depending upon who you are speaking to.

I guess that really confused things!
