Larimar is a rare blue variety of the mineral pectolite, with beautiful color ranges from light blue to deep turquoise, often with white marbling that resembles ocean waves. Found only in the Dominican Republic, this rock has been prized for its calming, water-like appearance and is sometimes called the “Atlantis Stone” or “Dolphin Stone.”

🪶 Fun Fact:
Did you know? Some legends link Larimar to the lost city of Atlantis, adding a mystical and historical allure to the stone.

💎 Properties
