In the Caribbean islands, indigenous Indians discovered a gemstone called Larimar long ago. They believe Larimar brings health and good luck to people.

Origin of the Name Larimar

In 1974, a Dominican geologist named Miguel Mendez identified this gemstone. It was then named Larimar, combining his daughter's name, Larissa, and the Spanish word for sea, "mar," meaning "unparalleled blue."

The Ocean in the Palm of Your Hand

This gemstone exhibits a sea-blue color, sometimes blue-green, with water-like patterns as its most distinctive feature. Under light, it shows effects similar to ocean waves. Holding Larimar in the palm feels like holding the entire ocean, bringing a sense of serenity. Its unique appearance and variety mean each piece of Larimar is distinctive.

Gemstone of Atlantis

Legend has it that Larimar was the moonstone of Atlantis and a healing stone, possessing the earth's energy. It can connect with maternal energy, providing children with a sense of security, reducing crying, and even enhancing their perception and intuition. In Atlantis, Larimar was also used to help pregnant women stabilize their fetuses.
