Dalmation Jasper 2x4mm Tube - 15-16 Inch Red Botswana Agate laced with bands or swirlsDalmation Jasper is the trade name for Dalmation Stone, which is not Jasper but rather a combination of Feldspar and Quartz. It is opaque, creamy white to pale gray or beige, with inclusions of iron oxide, tourmaline and other minerals. These inclusions create black and brown spots that resemble the random patterns found on its namesake, the Dalmation dog breed. It is believed to encourage emotional harmony and strengthen relationships.
