Dominican Larimar
Larimar,
or Blue Pectolite, is only found in the Dominican Republic. This mineral is
a mixture of beautiful Caribbean copper Blue-Green colors. Occasionally Hematite
Dendrites, Calcite and Natrolite inclusions occur. This sought after stone
is a relatively new discovery. The first Larimar specimens were found in the
latter half of the 20th century.
Larimar is used to make beautiful jewellery such as rings, pendants, earrings,necklasses and bracelets, but also ornate carvings and even sold as rough slabs due to its natural beauty.
