Since Larimar is found in only one location, that makes it one of the rarest gemstones worldwide. I buy the rough stones from the world’s only mine in Barahona in the Dominican Republic. Larimar is mined under extremely dangerous conditions. Larimar is very expensive and very hard to get. The mine is a mystic place in a very inaccessible mountain area.

Larimar is a form of pectolite (with copper) found only in a single place in the Dominican Republic. It is an opaque sky blue stone with white streaks. There are often some red to brown impurities. Larimar is usually shaped and polished (but not traditionally faceted). Larimar has a hardness of 4.5 - 6.0 and a specific gravity of 2.7 to 2.9. Larimar is not enhanced. It is not easy to work , but when done right you get a wonderful blue with a glassy shine.

Overall Larimar is associated with the Fifth Chakra and the Deva of the Blue Ray. Larimar works to bring truth to the communications process. Larimar supports dissolving different kind of energy blockages that cause physical problems or mental diseases.

This gemstone first surfaced in 1974, although the inhabitants of the region and their ancestors have long been aware of the stone. Larimar is one of the rarest stones at all in the universe which is also known as the Atlantis Stone or the Dolphin Stone.
