Stone symbols

Dalmatian Jasper takes its name from its beige or white appearance studded with black spots, reminiscent of a Dalmatian dog's coat.

Although Jasper has been known since ancient times, this beautifully mottled variety is a relatively recent discovery.

The spiritual meanings attributed to it by contemporary esotericism associate it with joy and the power of the innocent to foster understanding as well as lightness; with a spontaneous glance, to relativize what seemed insurmountable.

In lithotherapy

Dalmatian Jasper, also known as Dalmatite, Dalmatian stone or Jasper lamparci, is as attractive for its motifs as for its lithotherapy virtues.

What does it mean?

The stone symbolizes thebalance between feminine and masculine polarities , the material and spiritual worlds, the conscious and unconscious.

What are its benefits?

The incarnation

Balancing and anchoring, it promotes emotional stability .

Relativizing negative thoughts and false questioning (which we recognize by their capacity to plunge us into doubt, fear or anxiety), its presence is a reminder of a generous innocence, purveyor of a primordial knowledge linked to the joy of the simple fact of existing.

It brings together energies that we devalue for their obviousness, forgetting their place in mortal life. It anchors us in the present by encouraging us to stop dwelling on or scattering; reinforces self-confidence and a serene vision by encouraging mental clarity - which enables us to assume our limits and remain true to our essence.

Sense of humor

The stone promotes the balance of yin and yang energies, with the aim of staying grounded without forgetting imagination and creativity: wise and artistic minds alike retain a refreshing link to childhood. Dalmatian Jasper is also a reminder of this power. It offers you a wonderful opportunity to develop your sense of humor and repartee.

Learning and cooperation

In lithotherapy, this stone is a formidable ally for promoting all types of learning, improving cooperative skills within a group or family, and enabling you to achieve your goals with stamina and determination. It's ideal for studies, launching a business or project, or fostering family ties.

Protection

According to a spiritual vision, the presence of Black Tourmaline in its composition provides protection against all kinds of undesirable energies and greater stability in the face of events. Tradition also affirms that Dalmatian Jasper warns us of dangers, the better to avoid them.

It can also be used to promote sleep, combat nightmares and soothe insomnia-related disorders. It soothes children when they have "unfounded" fears, such as the "fear of monsters " that is common among youngsters in the evening or at night.

What are the physical properties of Dalmatian Jasper?

No scientific proof, but well-established traditions: prized by athletes, stone is reputed to help relieve muscle strains and tendon pain. It is also said to strengthen the immune system and its detoxifying properties may improve blood circulation.

How do I use Dalmatian Jasper?

• It's best to wear your stone directly on your skin. Dalmatian Jasper is slow-acting and long-lasting. You may need a little patience before you notice its effects.
• When setting up a new business or project, hang this stone on your filing cabinet to help ensure concrete, stable and lasting progress.
• Keeping it away from the child's mouth, place the stone under the child's bed sheet or under the child's bed to calm "monster fears".

What lithotherapy stones should it be associated with?

In lithotherapy, to create energetic synergies according to your specific needs, your stone can be combined with complementary crystals to amplify its effects:

• For protection, you can combine it with black stones such as black Tourmaline or Schorl crystals, black Onyx, volcanic Lava stone, or a crystalline black Spinelle.
  .
• For harmonious and peaceful relationships within the family or in a work group, you can combine it with Calcite blue or azure
  or Dumortierite, the stone of patience
• For fears, anxieties and nightmares, Dalmatian Jasper can be combined with Lepidolite, a transition stone, to great effect.

Dalmatian Jasper is not strictly speaking a Jasper, nor even a variety of Chalcedony, but a magmatic peralkaline rock composed mainly of Feldspars, Quartz and alkaline Amphiboles.

It was formed specifically in volcanic, hydrothermal or sedimentary rocks.

Its black spots come from inclusions of black tourmaline or amphibole (brown spots).

Its main deposits are in Mexico, but it is also present in South Africa, Brazil, the United States and Madagascar.

Its hardness is between 6.5 and 7 on the Mohs scale - a relatively resistant stone.
