Tumbled Stone Ocelot Jasper Drilled

The drilled Tumbled Stones made of dark green Ocelot Jasps are about 3,3 - 3,5cm in size; the diameter of the hole is about 3mm.

The green ocelot jasper is found in the region around Purbalingga (Central Java). This is an alluvial deposit, i.e. the rough stones are transported from their place of origin by rivers and finally deposited. Only particularly hard stones survive this transport route and are then processed into high-quality products.

Comparable to the Heliotrope (Bloodstone) the green color is caused by iron silicate. The light areas in the green Jasper are caused by the inclusion of volcanic ash.

At its place of discovery the Ocelot Jasper is also called Green Tiger Jasper. In the trade, the name "Moss Agate" can also be found erroneously for the Ocelot Jasper.

Green Jasper is significant in stone healing for strengthening control over thoughts and actions. Thus calmed, one can more easily stand by one's feelings and act them out. Balance and self-protection are other themes of green Jasper.
