About Larimar
Larimar is the trade name for a compact blue variety of the mineral pectolite, coloured by traces of copper and found mainly in the Dominican Republic. Its name joins "Lari" (for Larissa, the discoverer's daughter) with the Spanish "mar", meaning sea.
- Hardness
- 4.5-5, compact material up to 6 (Mohs)
- Everyday wear
- Larimar is relatively tough but soft enough to scratch, so it is excellent for pendants and earrings, while rings need protective settings.
- Care
- Clean with a soft brush, mild detergent and warm water, and store it apart from harder gems that can scratch it.
- Meaning and tradition
- In modern crystal guides, larimar is associated with calm, emotional balance and communication, and with the element of water.
Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
A note on value
- Made in solid Sterling Silver.
