Ocean Picture Stone

Q: What is Ocean Picture Stone made of?

Ocean Picture Stone has the chemical formula SiO₂ + clay / Fe / organic inclusions, crystallises in the trigonal (microcrystalline) system and measures 6 – 7 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Ocean picture stone is a trade name for a banded silica-rich sedimentary rock — typically a fine chalcedony-cemented siltstone or jasper — whose layered depositional structures resemble seascapes when cut. The soft blue coloration comes from fine clay and iron staining in the silica matrix.
