Larimar

Larimar is a rare, semi-precious gemstone found exclusively in the Dominican Republic. It is a blue variety of the silicate mineral pectolite, which typically appears gray or white. Larimar’s color can range from bluish white to deep blue, and it may also exhibit shades of green, turquoise, violet, or indigo. One of its distinctive features is its smooth surface, often adorned with a web of white lines or spots.

This beautiful gemstone is located in the mountains above Barahona in the Dominican Republic. Larimar was first discovered in 1916 along the shore but was later traced to a significant rock formation deep within a volcano, making it a unique and sought-after treasure of the region.

Larimar is often used as a substitute for Dry Creek and Golden Hills turquoise in bead form, primarily due to its lower cost. This makes it an appealing option for jewelry makers looking to achieve a similar aesthetic without the higher price tag associated with those more sought-after turquoise varieties. Larimar’s unique blue hues and smooth textures offer a beautiful alternative, allowing for versatile designs in a range of jewelry pieces.
