How about one of these cute Dalmatian Stone Cats for someone you love? Named after the dog with the spots on white/cream coat it has proven to be much like as a stone for crystal animals as it adds realism.

This crystal brings an energy of childlike joy and a sense of playfulness. I certainly see it happen every time someone picks one of these up! It aids you to break down barriers that you have created as protection around yourself, which allows you to move forward in life. Also it is said to help you if you have problems with gallstones, sprains and cartilage problems. You can read more on the Healing and Additional tabs.
