About Larimar
Larimar is found in only one location on earth -- the mountainous Barahuco region of the Dominican Republic -- making it one of the rarest gemstones in existence. This blue variety of pectolite displays patterns of white and blue that evoke Caribbean seas and tropical skies. It was rediscovered in 1974 by Miguel Mendez, who named it by combining his daughter's name (Larissa) with mar (Spanish for sea). In the Vedic tradition, larimar carries the energy of the Moon (Chandra) and Venus (Shukra), combining emotional nurturing with beauty and peace. It works through the Vishuddha (throat), Anahata (heart), and Ajna (third eye) chakras, creating a gentle but powerful flow from heart to voice to vision. Larimar is associated with the lost civilization of Atlantis -- Edgar Cayce prophesied that a blue stone would be found in the Caribbean that would carry healing energy from the Atlantean age. Whether or not one accepts this connection, larimar's energy is undeniably serene, deep, and profoundly calming.
