Interesting Facts About Larimar:
Larimar is a truly unique gemstone, found in only one place in the entire world: the remote mountains of the Dominican Republic, located in the Caribbean. It was discovered relatively recently, in 1974, by a Peace Corps volunteer named Miguel Méndez, who named it by combining his daughter's name, "Larissa," with "mar," the Spanish word for sea.
Geologically, Larimar is a rare blue variety of the mineral pectolite. Its distinctive blue color is due to the presence of copper within the stone. Mining for Larimar is a challenging process, as it is found deep within ancient volcanic rock formations, adding to its rarity and appeal. Each Larimar stone boasts a unique pattern, making every piece of jewelry featuring this gem a one-of-a-kind treasure from the depths of the Caribbean.
