Dalmatian Jasper, History, Symbolism and Virtues

Dalmatian Jasper – Grounded joy and playful energy



1. History & Origin

Dalmatian jasper, also called "Dalmatian stone," gets its name from its unique appearance: a cream or beige base speckled with black spots, similar to the coat of the famous Dalmatian dog. This jasper, although less ancient in symbolic history than other jaspers, is highly valued for its jovial, protective, and stabilizing energy.

It is a joyful grounding stone, which balances the mind, refocuses emotions, and brings a light vibration without losing sight of stability.

Its main deposits are in Mexico, but they are also found in South Africa, Brazil and the United States.
