Larimar (pronounced lah-ri-MAR) is a variety of silicate mineral called pectolite, formed tens of millions of years ago by underwater volcanic activity.
Larimar is formed through a combination of volcanic and hydrothermal processes. It is primarily found in the Dominican Republic, specifically in the province of Barahona, where unique geological conditions contribute to the formation of Larimar deposits.
Larimar is a lovely blue color, some people confuse it with varieties of Turquoise. However, this blue pectolite is considered one of the rarest minerals on planet Earth and this is because its ONLY known source is in one remote mountain located in Bahoruco, Dominican Republic.
Metaphysical Traditions
Larimar is a healing stone that will help release stored negative energy and allow positive energy to flow through.
