Larimar were first discovered in 1974 in the Dominican Republic. It was used as a gemstone in the early 1980s. Because of the sea-blue color and as a tribute to his daughter Larissa, the local art expert Miguel Mendez coined the term "Larimar" (mar = sea/Spanish). When the sites along the southwest coast were exhausted, Mendez discovered another site seven kilometers from the shoreline. The blue pectolite is usually available as a cut cabochon and is extremely popular as a gemstone, future stone and healing stone. The Larimar effect refers above all to the expansion of the intellectual horizon and shows new ways with different perspectives. In this way, Larimar healing stones support the redesign of life by dissolving entrenched patterns of thought and behavior. This opens up a wide range of possibilities that steer thoughts and actions in a positive direction. The Atlantis stone gives people serenity and inner peace. As a protective stone, Larimar protects against negative energies. Stone: Very Rare AAA+++ Natural Blue Ocean Larimar Bracelet Weight: 142.9 ct Size: - Treatment: None Origin: Dominican Republic
