This unique gemstone has fast become the Caribbean's most famous gemstone, and one of the most exciting gemstones discovered in recent times. (Commercially in 1974).
The only mine in existence is in the volcanic mountains of the Dominican Republic. It is a rare ble Pectolite Na Ca2 SI3 08 (OH) and has a similar hardness to jade.
It displays a striking translucency similar to Opals. Rarity, beauty and durability define Larimar as an exceptional gemstone.
Metaphysically (archaic) it is also known now as the "Atlantis Stone", a healing stone to soften stress and tension.
My boss got me the bracelet pictured above with a pair of matching earrings on her last visit to the Dominican Republic; I don't know if she knew it was a healing stone, or just thought it was pretty. Either way it was really nice of her to think of me.
