LARIMAR

HARMONY - RELAXATION - TRANQUILITY

Larimar is a cherished stone we love incorporating into designs that celebrate our deep connection to the sea.

Birthstone - Larimar isn’t an official birthstone but is often linked to Leo (July 23 – August 22) and considered an alternative for March due to its resemblance to aquamarine. Its serene blue hues also connect it to December, similar to turquoise.

What Makes Larimar Unique?

Larimar is a rare variety of pectolite, a mineral that is only found in the Dominican Republic. In the 1970’s, its recent discoverer named the stone after his daughter Larissa and mar (‘sea’ in Spanish). Its striking blue color, ranging from light sky blue to deep ocean blue, sets larimar apart from other gemstones. The unique patterns and swirls within within the stone resemble the mesmerizing waves of the Caribbean sea, making it a truly special and captivating stone.

The Healing Properties of Larimar

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, larimar is believed to have metaphysical properties that promote relaxation, peace, and harmony. It is often associated with the throat chakra, encouraging clear communication and emotional healing. Many people believe that wearing larimar can help reduce stress, anxiety, and negative emotions, fostering a sense of calm and tranquility.
