Mainly mined in Mexico, dalmatian jasper is, as the name suggests, a spotted stone. Deep red jasper with near-black chalcedony creates a slight texture, while red coupled with light grey or near-white chalcedony creates striking striations. Often, how dramatic the piece looks depends highly on the colours involved. However, different types of jasper could be involved, and other combinations certainly exist. The most common colour of jasper of this type are red and yellow jasper, with the chalcedony ranging from colourless to gray.

In others, it's more subtle, leading to slight shifts in colour across the stone and just hints of lines and filled cracks. In some cases, it creates a dramatic look, not unlike terrazzo. Technically, this stone is simply comprised of jasper that's internally broken up and fused back together with chalcedony.
