AN UNPRECEDENTED DISCOVERY - WITH PURPOSE
10% of the final auction proceeds will be donated to Gems of Madagascar, directly supporting education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihoods within Malagasy mining communities.
This is the first matched mineral geode pairing of this size and caliber ever discovered by Enter The Earth — across any mineral species.
In the combined decades of experience of Nader Kawar and his predecessor Paul Obeniche, Enter The Earth has never encountered a naturally occurring geode pair so closely matched in scale, structure, and internal crystal development. That this pairing is Ocean Jasper elevates the discovery to an entirely separate level of rarity.
This extraordinary offering is presented as a matched Ocean Jasper geode pair from the rare 8th Vein, distinguished by monumental scale, exceptional druzy development, and remarkable visual harmony. Pieces of this size from later Ocean Jasper veins are virtually unseen; the ability to present two geodes that mirror one another so precisely in proportion and formation places this offering firmly in museum- and investment-level territory.
Auction & Viewing Details
Online auction bidding runs February 5–13. Serious collectors are invited to view this matched Ocean Jasper geode pair in person at our Tucson warehouse during the Gem Show (January 27–February 12) at 1601 North 15th Ave, Tucson, AZ, to experience its scale, structure, and crystalline brilliance firsthand before placing a bid.
AUCTION: 8th Vein Ocean Jasper | Matched Geode Pair VIEW IN PERSON IN TUCSON
Both geodes originate from the 8th Vein of the Marovato deposit in northwestern Madagascar, the only place on Earth where true Ocean Jasper has ever been found. The 8th Vein represents one of the final chapters in Ocean Jasper’s history — extracted under extremely limited conditions, with material that is now finite and no longer actively mined.
What distinguishes this pair is the exceptional druze formation present within both geodes. Druze refers to surfaces densely lined with thousands of tiny quartz crystals that formed naturally inside cavities of the host stone. Large, intact drusy interiors in Ocean Jasper are exceedingly rare—particularly at this size—making this pairing highly significant from both a mineralogical and collector standpoint.
