This listing is for 1 tumbled Blue Dalmation Stone
The size of these stones are approx. 1 1/8 - 1 1/4 "
"Dalmatian Stone," also called "Dalmatian Jasper," is a white to cream-colored material with black spots that is produced in Chihuahua, Mexico. It reminds people of the Dalmatian breed of dogs - and that is where it gets its name. It is a mixture of minerals and therefore it is a rock. The types of minerals in the rock are those that crystallize from a melt so instead of being a jasper, Dalmatian Stone is an igneous rock.
Dalmatian Stone is porous and readily accepts dye. Dyed Dalmatian Stone beads and tumbled stones are commonly seen at gem shows and in bead catalogs.
According to Rocktumbler.com they sent a few pieces to John Attard to do a laboratory analysis that identifies minerals and other materials with a crystalline structure. John's analysis determined that the black material is the mineral arfvedsonite while the white material is a mixture of the mineral albite & lesser amounts of quartz.
