Larimar Jewelry
Are you looking for a unique piece of jewelry? I recently stumbled upon a new and rare gemstone called Larimar. Larimar gemstones are a beautiful blue green in appearance much like the colors of the Caribbean Sea.
Larimar stones can only be found in the Dominican Republic and only in one unique mountain there. The Larimar stone was named by Miguel Mendez, a Dominican who discovered this stone, after his daughter Larissa, Lari for Larissa and Mar for the sea. Mother Nature ensures the uniqueness of each gemstone. The Dominican Republic claims to be the ancient site of Atlantis and as such the Larimar stone is also called the Atlantis stone. Atlantis is symbolized by dolphins, therefore the Larimar stone is also known as the Dolphin stone. Legend has it that this gem has healing powers. It is believed to heal the body and the soul. It decreases one’s anxiety and stress level and enlightens one’s mind. It enhances one’s speech and communication skills. For these reasons, people have worn Larimar jewelry or have put it in their pockets and even slept with it under their pillows.
Larimar stone is used not only in jewelry but you can also find it in sculptures as well as in polished slabs. Larimar gems can be used as beads or stones for bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pendants and rings. One of the newest, hottest items is the Larimar stone toggle bracelet. These are bracelets using the Larimar gemstone with a unique toggle clasp lock. When evaluating this gemstone, pay close attention to the color. A Larimar stone that is white in color is considered to be of a low quality. A deep volcanic blue is considered the highest grade. Larimar stones are currently one of our newest and most widely demanded gemstones today. It is so popular because it is such a beautiful and rare stone, especially the Caribbean Blue colored ones. There is a stone that looks like the Larimar stone known as Hemimorphite. This stone costs a fraction of a genuine Larimar stone. Beware of Hemimorphite stones being offered as genuine Larimar stones. Be sure to only purchase Larimar jewelry from an authentic source.
