Description
Dalmatian Jasper has a Trigonal crystal system and is the mineral class of oxide in the Quartz group. Basically, most Jaspers are a fine grained Quartz that holds lots of foreign materials.
Dalmatian Jasper forms in a sedimentary manner when the original silicic acid solution seeps into sandy rock and becomes saturated with lots of suspended particles. The orange color spots come from iron, the darker black to brown spots can be anything from old plant material to old sea bottom materials (shells, etc.). The very pale yellow background comes from finely ground clay and sand particles. Dalmatian Jasper can be found world-wide.
