Larimar
Description:
Larimar is a rare, blue variety of the silicate mineral pectolite, found only in the Dominican Republic. Its unique, mesmerizing blue hues, ranging from light sky blue to deep sea blue, are reminiscent of the Caribbean waters. Valued for its beauty and believed to possess calming and healing properties, larimar is a sought-after gemstone in jewelry making.
Fun Fact:
Larimar is sometimes called the "Atlantis Stone" due to a legend that suggests it holds the essence of the lost city of Atlantis. It was first discovered in 1916 but wasn't officially recognized until 1974 when a local Dominican, Miguel Méndez, and a Peace Corps volunteer rediscovered it on a beach. The name "larimar" combines Méndez's daughter's name, Larissa, and the Spanish word for sea, "mar," reflecting its ocean-like colors.
