Ocean Jasper and Viluite

Question: Hi! Can you tell me what you know about Ocean Jasper and Viluite?

I'm trying to write some articles on Wikipedia about those minerals.

Wikipedia already has a tiny article on Viluite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viluite

Do you have any more info on Viluite and any info on Ocean Jasper?

Thanks!

Answer: G'day and many thanks for your query

However I have never heard of either.

Jasper is generally considered to be a Chalcedony and is one of the Quartz family of gemstones.

They have many TRADE names such as Egyptian Jasper or Blood Jasper etc, but Ocean Jasper means absolutly nothing, and it's name too is most misleading, having nothing to do with the sea?

As for the other gem you mentioned - I have again - No knowledge.

Sorry I can't help.
