PEN-LAR-32
925 silver pendant composed of a larimar cabochon of approximately 10mm x 8mm set with small topaz
Larimar belongs to the large family of silicate quartz. It is actually a relatively rare pectolite. Larimar has a hardness ranging from 4.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale. It most often remains 7. It sometimes presents certain inclusions of hematite, dentrolite and chalcocite. Its composition is ideal in jewelry to create splendid jewelry or other ornamental creations.
Larimar is a blue-colored mineral stone and generally comes from the Dominican Republic. Its color can range from white or deep blue with the presence of light veins. It has sometimes been nicknamed “Caribbean turquoise” or “Dominican turquoise”. But these names can be misleading, so they were ultimately abandoned in favor of the name larimar.
Larimar is a mineral from a volcanic rock. It is created according to particular conditions. Its formation took place within erupting volcanoes. We note the presence of copper mixed with iron. All these elements are reduced to boiling in the chimneys of volcanoes up to 250°C. Numerous chemical reactions take place, then after several million years of cooling, the fabulous blue stone finally appears. The blue color of this mineral is due to the presence of copper during its formation. The bluer the stone, the more expensive the stone.
The exploitation of this fabulous stone is very recent, as it dates from 1976. However, in 1916, this stone was discovered by Father Domingo Fuertes de Loren in the Dominican Republic. He named it “rock of Atlantis”. However, he never received mining authorization because the authorities did not know what mineral it was.
In 1974, Miguel Mendez and a friend were walking along a beach when they noticed a curious reflection in the water. A rock of a magnificent blue color lay at the bottom of the water. They followed his trail and discovered a source from which this stone came, namely the larimar deposit. Its exploitation at the bottom of the Bahoruco range in the Dominican Republic will begin 2 years later.
Larimar owes its name in part to the daughter of Miguel Mendez, a contraction of “Larissa” and “mar”, meaning sea in Spanish. Larimar has been classified as a fine stone since 1979.
This stone is at the origin of a particular craze in New Age circles. Indeed, some believe that there is a link between the incredible blue stone and the legendary Atlantis. For the record, Atlantis is an island the size of a continent, inherited by the sea god Poseidon. This continent was swallowed up following a decision by Zeus.
The main deposit is located in the Dominican Republic.
In Lithotherapy, larimar is a balancing and soothing stone. This stone encourages one to overcome the difficulties of life, to flourish, to become pleasant and positive. It helps to demonstrate an optimistic state of mind and puts negativity into perspective.
We could nickname it "stone of happiness", because it diffuses joy, serenity and well-being. It encourages one to have a confident attitude and to be in harmony with those around them. It allows one to calmly welcome changes and facilitates adaptation to novelty.
Larimar is a stone of self-confidence. It provides its wearer with increased confidence and the ability to be interested in others. It develops speech and provides quality communication. The person demonstrates listening, understanding and empathy. His speech becomes clear and coherent. Larimar engenders authenticity and combats misinterpretations, while controlling aggression.
This stone is particularly suitable for people who are too introverted or possess too much bitterness. It frees them from their remorse, their regrets. It is a stone that encourages you to move forward in life and take on new projects.
It wards off grief, anxieties and traumas linked to the past. It allows you to find explanations for certain blockages and therefore to free yourself from them. This stone is a stone of resilience.
