Larimar pendant in 925 silver, a bijoux piece from the Dominican Republic.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent Larimar pendant. Alliance of elegance and craftsmanship
At the beginning of the 20th century in the Dominican Republic, priest Miguel Domingo Fuertes de Loren identifies a rough mine. He then asks the government for permission to explore it. This request is denied.
It is only in 1974 that physician Miguel Mendez, a resident of the village Los Chupaderos, discovers the Larimar stone. He first spots it in the bed of a river that links the summit of a mountain to the waters of the Caribbean.
Additionally, Larimar is associated with the legend of Atlantis, the mythical sunken continent. A few decades before Miguel Mendez’s discovery, American prophet Edgar Cayce predicted the discovery of the stone of Atlantis. He foretold that this Caribbean gem with a brilliant blue hue possessed a strong healing power.
To date, Larimar deposits remain extremely rare. There is one in northern Italy as well as in a region of Mexico. However, the Dominican Republic deposit is undoubtedly the most important. Furthermore, extracting Larimar proves delicate since it is mined more than 80 meters underground. For these reasons, this pectolite remains one of the most sought-after stones in the world. It is used in jewelry to create exceptional pieces.
