Larimar stone of the gods and dolphins

One of the most beautiful stones in the world, blue larimar brings to our heart and mind the tranquility of the vast ocean and the blue sky above it.

Larimar, also known as the "dolphin stone", is among the rarest semi-precious stones in the world . This fact is due to the fact that there is only one deposit in the world of this unique blue variety of pectolite, which is larimar. Larimar is only mined in the Caribbean in a very small mountainous area of the island of Hispaniola, about 5 km from Rio Bahoruco in the Dominican Republic. This is also why the price for the best quality larimar stones is very high, ranging from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars for larimar jewelry!

What is larimar stone

Larimar is a volcanic stone that is the result of volcanic activity that occurred millions of years ago. Other varieties of pectolite have been found in other parts of the world, including the US and Canada, but are not marketed as larimar because the name Larimar is a registered trademark for pectolite mined in the Caribbean. Although pectolite is found in every hemisphere, nowhere else does it have the unique volcanic blue that characterizes Larimar. Pectolite elsewhere in the world is usually gray or white in color. The beautiful color of larimar is miraculously similar to the color of the blue sea and green shadows in the waters of the Caribbean lagoons. There are interesting patterns of blue, white and blue-green colors on these beautiful stones, as well as white annealing over the blue surfaces of the larimar. Some larimar stones may also have greyish black or reddish brown inclusions, which is due to the presence of hematite in the stone.

The name Larimar refers to Miguel Mendez , who discovered it in 1974. Miguel Mendez named the stone after his daughter Larissa by using the first three letters of Larissa's name "Lar" and the local word for the sea "mar", thus creating the name Larimar. However, local residents knew the blue stone already in 1911, when they began to find it on the edge of the sea. And the original name of larimar was "Travelina".

Another name for Larimar is the Stone of Atlantis . According to the famous prophet Edgar Cayce, the Dominican Republic is a remnant of the lost continent of Atlantis. Interestingly, it was Cayce who predicted the discovery of a new blue stone in the Caribbean, actually larimar, about 60 years ago.

Recently, larimaru is also called the "lucky stone", according to one of the "urban legends", when a woman who had nothing but problems in her life bought a ring with larimaru and soon after won a considerable sum in the lottery.
