AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Larimar, also known as the 'Caribbean stone,' is a rare and stunning gemstone found exclusively in the Dominican Republic. Its history dates back to 1916, when a Spanish priest and geologist discovered clues of this stone in a remote region. However, it was only in the 1970s that larimar was officially discovered and marketed by a local artisan, Miguel Méndez. Fascinated by its sky-blue color, Méndez named larimar by combining his daughter Larissa's name with 'mar,' which means sea in Spanish. Since then, larimar has become a sought-after stone worldwide for its beauty and spiritual properties, often associated with peace, healing, and communication.
Local legends suggest that it is the result of mermaids' tears. These stories add to its mystique and allure.
In lithotherapy, larimar is often associated with several virtues. It is said to promote tranquility of mind, inner peace, and relaxation. It helps calm strong emotions and encourages harmonious communication. Larimar is also considered a stone that promotes emotional and spiritual healing and encourages self-expression. Generally, larimar is seen as a stone that imparts a sense of calm and well-being to its wearer.
