Dalmatian jasper
Properties of Dalmatian Jasper
Dalmatian jasper , also known as Lamparci jasper, is formed primarily through sedimentation. Its high silica content can reach up to 95% of its total composition.
Dalmatian jasper has a scaly fracture, although in some cases it can be conchoidal. Its mottled appearance, with black spots on a white or light beige background, makes it unmistakable. It belongs to the trigonal crystal system, with a density of 2.75 and a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale.
Jasper is a common stone whose production is widespread throughout the world. However, each deposit contributes unique characteristics. In the case of Dalmatian jasper, its main deposits are in the Americas and some African countries.
History of Dalmatian Jasper
The term "jasper" comes from a long linguistic evolution. In Latin it was called iaspidem , which derives from the Greek iaspis and, in turn, from Semitic languages such as Hebrew or the Persian yašp . Its meaning has always remained the same: "speckled stone".
Jasper, in all its varieties, was known to ancient civilizations and always held sacred significance. Associated with deities and ritual objects, it appears in biblical narratives and mythologies of various cultures. The ancients used it for aesthetic and ornamental purposes, crafting jewelry, furniture inlays, and decorative objects.
