About this Product
This is a half pound lot of Dalmatian stone, or most commonly referred to as Dalmatian jasper. While softer than a typical jasper, these stones have a great shine that will hold up well for nearly every use. I've included several sizes in this batch so they can be used in crafting projects, displays, or just kept around because they look pretty.
The largest stone measures 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 7/8" while the smallest stone measures just under 1/2" in all dimensions.
Dalmatian jasper, also known as Dalmatian stone or Dalmantine, is most commonly mined in Chihuahua, Mexico and is affectionately named after the firehouse dog. It's an igneous microcrystalline quartz with other minerals, and the black and brown spots are caused by tourmaline deposits.

Stones will be ready to ship within 1-3 business days!

Meet the Maker
When does an idea become a reality? A number of years ago as I was picking up sea shells on a family vacation and paused to wonder what I was doing. I mean, picking up stuff on the beach is the tourist thing to do, but I'm not the kind of guy to leave the shells laying around in decorative dishes. So what else were they for? That night I looked up ideas to turn sea shells into jewelry so that I could make wearable souvenirs for the family. Two years later I was on a beach doing the same with rocks. That's where the idea of turning rocks into jewelry started. As my son and dad joined me, all three of us named Ken, Ken Generations of Jewelry was born. With enthusiastic support from my wife who loves being festooned in handcrafted art I developed my style, gained skill in my craft, and even launched a YouTube channel to help share what I've learned with others. Now, through this shop, an idea has become a reality and I thank you for joining me and my family on this journey and I hope that you feel as blessed with our encounter as I do.
If you like my pieces, I'd love to use YouTube to show you how they're made. If you'd like to be a bit more avant-garde you can even check out my latest tumble video(s) and let me know which stones you'd like wrapped.

How it’s Made
These stones were purchased as lapidary rough and broken down and tumbled by myself. These are great stones to work with and are absolute eye catchers when I've sold them at craft shows in the past.
Shop Policies
This life is made up of relationships, no matter how brief or in depth. In this relationship I hope that we can be more than a vendor and customer, I hope we can be friends.
Shipping lead time:
Like you, I'm a real person with a real life and a real family. They come first, but they support me in this venture so you can reasonably expect that the items you have requested will be shipped the next business day.
Return Policy:
As with any friendship, there is an understanding of good faith. If you receive and item that was not as described, I have broken that good faith, and will do everything in my power to make the situation right, including paying for return shipping. I value YOU, not your money.
Custom Orders:
I hesitate to say I do custom orders. I have in the past made items for people who want an exact item, and those that want a stone, glass, or something similar wire wrapped into jewelry. I do custom orders for the latter. If you've seen my jewelry you know the style I make and must like it if you're thinking of having something custom wrapped by me. I'm happy to receive that item and wrap into a piece of wearable art for you. If you would like a specific type of stone wrapped that I might have, I'm also happy to do the same. Feel free to contact me.
