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.
