AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The larimar is a rare stone coming exclusively from the Dominican Republic; it is appreciated for its shades evoking tropical waters.

This superb cabochon is of very fine quality, nicely nuanced with patterns called "turtle scales" full of depth. The most sought-after patterns by connoisseurs.

Local legends suggest that it would be the fruit of mermaids' tears. These tales add to its mystique and appeal.

In lithotherapy, larimar is often associated with several virtues. It is said to promote mental calm, inner peace, and relaxation. It helps to calm strong emotions and to foster harmonious communication. Larimar is also considered a stone that promotes emotional and spiritual healing, and that encourages self-expression; it gives a sense of calm and well-being to the wearer.

Set in solid 925 silver, this pendant is ideal as everyday jewelry.

1. Secure shipping with tracking number.

2. Shipping twice a week. For Europe and international destinations, delivery may take 8 to 15 days depending on the destination and customs checks at the borders.

3. All my stones are genuine, without color treatments, resin, or plastic. They have all been selected with care, but as they are natural and artisanal products, they may sometimes show small imperfections.

4. The chain shown in the photos is not included in the sale; it is a presentation accessory.

5. The stones reflect changing hues depending on light, indoor lighting, or sunshine. Photos were taken indoors with appropriate lighting and outdoors in natural light when weather permits. I always try to faithfully reproduce the natural colors of the stone.

6. Unlike industrial jewelry, artisan jewelry in stone and silver made by hand, even of high quality, may show slight marks or traces that attest to its authenticity.

Thank you for your interest and happy bidding.
