Dalmation Jasper Half Pound Tumbled Stone

Description

Each Dalmatian Jasper Half Pound Tumbled Stone Pack includes hand-polished stones showcasing their signature cream base and black inclusions.
The distinctive “spotted” pattern that gives this stone its name comes from arfvedsonite, a rare amphibole mineral that forms within a peralkaline igneous matrix.
Each stone is smoothed to a silky finish, ideal for display, metaphysical use, or pocket carrying.

Geological Background

Despite its name, Dalmatian Jasper is technically not a true jasper but a peralkaline rock composed primarily of feldspar and quartz, with inclusions of arfvedsonite, epidote, and hematite.
It forms through igneous processes, where cooling magma crystallizes into a matrix of light and dark minerals, producing its playful spotted pattern reminiscent of the Dalmatian breed.

Aesthetic & Collector Evaluation

Dalmatian Jasper is instantly recognizable by its creamy beige to tan background punctuated by black arfvedsonite crystals. The high polish reveals subtle grain textures and feldspar shimmer, giving the stone depth and warmth. Each specimen is naturally unique — no two patterns repeat.

It is said to ground the wearer while encouraging playfulness and optimism, making it ideal for reducing overthinking and restoring spontaneity. Its dual tones symbolize harmony between light and shadow — the balanced nature of self-awareness.
