Larimar is\u00a0a rare, blue volcanic pectolite gemstone found exclusively in the Dominican Republic, known for its ocean-like patterns and often called the “gemstone of communication” for its believed calming and healing properties<\/mark>.\u00a0Discovered in 1916 but popularized in the 1970s, its name combines the Spanish word for sea (“mar”) and the name of the discoverer’s daughter, Larissa.\u00a0Larimar is mined in challenging, underground conditions and is used in jewelry and decorative pieces, with the Dominican Republic declaring November 22nd as National Larimar Day to honor it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name “Larimar” is a combination of the words “Lari” from Larissa and “mar” which means sea in Spanish. Larissa is the daughter of Miguel Mendez, who rediscovered this stone in 1974. Other names for Larimar include Atlantis Stone, due to its connection with the Lost Continent of Atlantis based on Edgar Cayce’s prediction of a blue stone in the Caribbean, and Dolphin Stone, as dolphins have been associated with the lost continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
