Sparkling Dalmatian Stone Cabochon — The Dalmatian
Dalmatian stone is a white to cream-colored igneous rock peppered with black and dark brown spots of hornblende and arfvedsonite — the same minerals that give it that unmistakable spotted pattern. Under direct light, the dark spots sparkle. It's a stone that makes people smile the moment they see it.
Hand-cut and polished in the Spokane Valley shop. The spots are completely natural — no dye, no treatment.
