Larimar

Larimar is a type of pectolite or a rock composed largely of pectolite, an acid silicate hydrate of calcium and sodium.
Pectolite is found in many locations, but larimar has a unique volcanic blue coloration, which is the result of copper substitution for calcium.
Larimar is the embodiment of the quiet energies of the Sea and the Sky. Its soft, soothing blue and soothing turquoise is streaked with white motifs reminiscent of the sunlight that dances beneath the waters of the Caribbean.
Miocene volcanic rocks, andesites and basalts, erupted within the limestones of the south coast of the island Domincan Republic.
Larimar jewelry is offered to the public in the Dominican Republic, and elsewhere in the Caribbean as a local speciality. Most jewelry produced is set in silver, but sometimes high-grade larimar is also set in gold.

Quality grading is according to coloration and the typical mineral crystal configuration in the stone. Larimar also comes in green and even with red spots, brown strikes, etc., due to the presence of other minerals and/or oxidation. But the more intense the blue color and the contrast in the stone, the higher and rarer is the quality. The blue color is photosensitive and fades with time if exposed to too much light and heat.

Provenance of Larimar:
Domincan Republic only.
