Larimar
Larimar is a very rare gemstone, found only in a small mountainous area of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. Miguel Méndez and Norman Rilling discovered the gemstone in 1974, and Méndez created the name larimar, by combining his daughter's name, Larissa, and the Spanish word for sea, Mar.
Larimar’s attractive blue color, often with unique white veins, remind us of the Caribbean Ocean. Folklore suggests that locals had occasionally found what they called “blue stone”, thinking it was a gift from the sea. In reality, the stone is created by unique volcanic circumstances.
It is believed that larimar may increase speech and communication skills as well as aid the body's natural healing process.This blue stone is said to soothe emotions, reduce stress and bring inner peace.
Larimar is a natural gemstone. Therefore, each piece varies slightly.
