Dalmatian Jasper Medicine Bear

By Cameron Kalestewa

Animal: Bear, Material: Dalmatian Jasper
This offering is sold.

Fascinating Dalmatian jasper is a quartz-based igneous rock mainly mined in Chihuahua, Mexico. The stone is named for a resemblance to a Dalmatian dog's coat with beige hues and black spots. The black spots are made of arfvedsonite, a rare sodium-rich amphibole. The lighter color comes from granite. Dalmatian jasper is said to encourage childlike joy and playfulness as felt in Cameron Kalestewa's Medicine-Bear. Colorful eyes and an alternating heartline or breath path are from turquoise. About 3" long, 1" wide and 2" tall.
