A grounding, spotted igneous stone of cream feldspar and quartz flecked with black arfvedsonite, known for steadying the nerves, lifting heavy moods, and restoring a sense of play.
Also known as
Dalmatian Jasper, Dalmatian Spot Stone, Dalmation Stone, Dalmatian Dog Stone
Care
Generally safe to handle and wear. The dark spots are arfvedsonite, an amphibole, so avoid inhaling dust when cutting or grinding and do not prepare as an ingestible elixir. Cleanse briefly under running water rather than soaking for long periods.
