Larimar Pendant

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

Larimar is mined in the Dominican Republic.  Discovered by two Peace Corp workers in the 1970’s, they named the stone after ‘Larissa’, the daughter of one of the Peace Corp workers and the Spanish name for the sea, ‘Mar’.  The Dominican Republic is the only place this stone is found. It looks somewhat like Turquoise, but is quite different.  Larimar comes in blue to green shades of color. Stones with a deeper blue color and pattern are more rare.
