AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
2 Larimar stud earrings / cabochon / new
Set in 925. Sterling silver
Total weight: 1.2 g / 6 ct
5.9 mm x 5.9 mm x 15.6 mm
New and unworn
Larimar is a blue-white variegated variety of pectolite, which has so far only been found at two sites: in a transformed ultrabasic volcanite on the Barahona Peninsula in the Dominican Republic and at the “Fittà” near Soave in Italy. Larimar has nothing to do with the blue amber also found on Hispaniola, which is sometimes processed in the same facilities in Puerto Plata as pectolite.
Larimar was discovered only in 1974 (the claim that Larimar was known to the island’s indigenous people is a legend) and has been commercially used as a jewelry stone since the early 1980s. Compared with white pectolite, Larimar is harder (up to 6 on the Mohs scale) and occurs exclusively in dense, fine-crystalline aggregates. The sky-blue color is due to trace amounts of vanadium (not copper, since copper-free Larimars are demonstrable); there are also greenish varieties, whose color is presumably due to lattice defects.
