Its soft sky-and-sea colouring, often threaded with white veining, has made it one of the most distinctive gemstones to come out of the Caribbean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo what is Larimar known for? It is prized as a \u003cstrong\u003ecalming and soothing\u003c\/strong\u003e stone, believed to ease stress, anxiety, and negative emotions. Many also reach for it to support \u003cstrong\u003ecommunication and self-expression\u003c\/strong\u003e, along with \u003cstrong\u003eemotional healing\u003c\/strong\u003e, encouraging people to let go of past hurt and lean into love, compassion, and forgiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout this piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarimar is a rare blue variety of the mineral \u003cstrong\u003epectolite\u003c\/strong\u003e, and remarkably, it has only ever been found in one small mountain region near \u003cstrong\u003eBarahona, in the Dominican Republic\u003c\/strong\u003e. It gets its sky-blue colour from copper within the stone, and it was only identified in 1974, when a local Dominican and a Peace Corps volunteer found pieces washed up along the shore. The stone takes its name from a blend of \u003cstrong\u003eLarissa\u003c\/strong\u003e, the discoverer's daughter, and \u003cstrong\u003emar\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Spanish word for sea, and it is sometimes nicknamed the Atlantis Stone for its watery, oceanic colouring. This pendant measures 18 x 25mm, and as with any genuine gemstone, small natural variations in colour and pattern are part of what makes each one unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: genuine Larimar (blue pectolite)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Barahona, Dominican Republic (the only known source)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: sterling silver necklace and pendant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePendant size: 18 x 25mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWearing your Larimar\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarimar is photosensitive, meaning prolonged direct sunlight can gradually fade its colour, so it is best kept in a soft pouch away from bright light when not being worn. Take it off before swimming, showering, or heavy activity, and clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth rather than soap or ultrasonic cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: crystals are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
