The Story of Larimar
Larimar is one of the world's rarest stones, found only in a single remote mountain in the Dominican Republic. Its extraordinary color — ranging from sky blue to turquoise to pale sea-green — reflects the Caribbean waters of its homeland, and its energy matches this appearance perfectly: deeply peaceful, cooling, and healing in the way that sitting by the ocean is healing. Larimar was rediscovered in 1974 by a Peace Corps volunteer who found it on the beach, named it after his daughter Larissa and the Spanish word for sea (mar). Some crystal workers connect Larimar to the legendary lost continent of Atlantis, believing that the Dominican Republic sits on what remains of Atlantean land, and that Larimar carries encoded Atlantean wisdom in its crystal matrix. Regardless of its mythic associations, its practical energy is unmistakable: it is one of the most soothing and calming stones available, particularly effective for dissolving stress, healing emotional wounds held in the throat and heart, and opening communication in relationships where authentic expression has been difficult.
