Larimar:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Larimar is a\u00a0semi-precious stone<\/strong>\u00a0that found in the Barahona region, in the southwest of the Dominican Republic.
This makes Larimar a\u00a0rare and unique stone<\/strong>, which visitors with pleasure take away as a souvenir of their stay in our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locals managed to collect Larimar from the surface, on the ground. In fact, local children used to have fun collecting Larimar pebbles that the Bahoruco River dragged and deposited on the beach in bottles, to sell them to visitors.
The mines that are upstream of the river have been operating since 1976. It is a mountainous region, very humid and exuberant.
The exploitation of Larimar is difficult and dangerous<\/strong>; the mines are deep, and access is difficult due to the steep and slippery terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lapis Lazuli:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Historians believe the link between humans and lapis lazuli stretches back more than 6,500 years. The gem was treasured by the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome. They valued it for its vivid, exquisite color, and prized it as much as they prized other blue gems like sapphire and turquoise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose Quartz:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rose quartz beads dating back to 7000 BC are found in the area known as Mesopotamia (today\u2019s Iraq). Jewelry was crafted by the Assyrians around 800-600 BC. The Assyrians, along with the Romans, might have been the first to use this stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People in the earliest recorded times believed in the magical powers of quartz. Ancient Roman, Egyptian, and Greek civilizations used quartz crystals as potent talismans. The Romans used rose quartz as a seal to signify ownership, and Egyptians believed the stone could prevent aging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
