About this stone: Dalmatian Stone

Dalmatian stone, widely sold as "Dalmatian jasper", is a natural igneous rock, not a jasper. A 2017 Gems & Gemology study identified it as a peralkaline rock (microgranite, aplite or rhyolite) made mostly of feldspar (mesoperthite) and quartz, whose black spots are the alkali amphibole arfvedsonite. The authors recommend the name "dalmatian stone" because the material does not meet the gemological definition of jasper.
