The Dalmatian stone is said to be highly protective. The inclusions of the black variety of Tourmaline in this stone act as small sponges that absorb harmful vibrations and negativity from your surroundings.
The Dalmatian stone is believed to fight boredom and exhaustion and serve especially if you’re feeling depleted. Also, this stone helps you look for happiness and fun even in the simplest or smallest thing. Moreover, it is a virtuous cleanser. It absorbs and repels negativity or toxicity from the auric field, which in turn helps you regain a positive outlook.
