Is Dalmatian Jasper Really Jasper?

Despite its familiar trade name, Dalmatian Jasper is not a true jasper. Gemological analysis identifies Dalmatian Stone as an igneous rock composed primarily of feldspar and Quartz with dark arfvedsonite, an amphibole mineral responsible for its characteristic black spots.

The material is associated with Chihuahua, Mexico, and its unusual mineral composition and instantly recognizable spotted appearance make it interesting from both geological and decorative perspectives.
