Off-white jasper with black tourmaline spots like Dalmatian dog. It works through the Root chakra (Muladhara), the seat of physical safety, material groundedness, and the body's relationship with earth. Under Mars (Mangal)'s influence, playfulness; family bond. Reach for it when navigating balance, grounding.
