LARIMAR
From the Caribbean to YOU!


 


LARIMAR is highly collectable due to its finite supply.

LARIMAR is found in one square kilometer, on one island, in the whole world -- The Dominican Republic. Larimar was first discovered in 1916, but was first mined in 1974. Miguel Mendez discovered the only known deposit of Larimar in the Dominican Republic. 

   Originally, Larimar was thought to be a water stone because it was found on the beach near the water. It was later traced back up a mountain to its original source. Mendez named the mysterious stone after his daughter, LARISSA and the Spanish word for sea, MAR.

Larimar is a beautiful blue and can range from light blue, almost white to a deep blue with or without great white striations. Larimar is also found in shades of green and can be seen with some red or copper flecking . Each piece is totally unique.

LARIMAR is Pectolite, a hydrothermal mineral and ranges from 5 to 7 on the hardness scale. Diamonds are the hardest at 10. The darker the piece is, the harder it is. The patterns in the stone (spider web, clouds, etc.) are determined by how much water was in the stone while it was forming. The white is where the water was. Copper is partially responsible for the color of the stone. 



LARIMAR is associated with Atlantis -- the Dominican Republic is said to be part of this lost continent. it is often called the dolphin stone.

Larimar is said to increase the wearer's skills of speech and communication and to have the ability to draw ones soul mate. The energy of Larimar relieves headaches, and eases stress and tension.
