Larimar

Larimar is a very rare and distinctive stone with color variations that run from a soft powder sky blue to the sea blues. Larimar is a type of a crystalline mineral called pectolite, found in only one place in the world: the Dominican Republic, in the Caribbean. It formed inside tubes within a volcano and as a result of meteorological conditions some rock fragments were forced out and ended up in the Bahoruco river, and from here, the waters took them to the coasts of the sea. 

In 1974, Miguel Méndez and Peace Corps volunteer Norman Rilling found larimar on a beach. Natives, who believed the stone came from the sea, called the gem Blue Stone. Miguel took his young daughter's name Larissa and the Spanish word for sea (mar) and named the stone Larimar, for the colors of the water of the Caribbean Sea, where it was found. Our Larimar jewelry is handcrafted in New Mexico by Native American silversmiths.  We are now offering FREE SHIPPING.
