Larimar is a rare blue pectolite that forms in cavities and fractures of volcanic rocks. It is found only in the Dominican Republic. It was first discovered in 1916 but did not gain widespread attention until the 1970s when a local artisan rediscovered it.
Larimar is known for its stunning blue color, ranging from pale blue to deep blue-green. The color is believed to be caused by the presence of copper in the mineral. Larimar is also known for its white and gray mottled patterns caused by calcite.
This listing is for one stone slice, it will be similar to the photos but note that nature is amazing in all its complexity and uniqueness and as such, each crystal will differ slightly. All crystals have been hand-selected for quality and aesthetics so you can rest assured that you will receive a beautiful piece.
