Larimar

Larimar is a rare variety of Pectolite, a sodium calcium silicate mineral with a hardness of 4.5 to 5. While Pectolite itself is found in many locations globally, Larimar is unique due to its vibrant blue coloration, which is caused by copper impurities in its structure.

Larimar can only be found on Hispaniola Island, specifically in the Dominican Republic, which occupies the eastern portion of the island. It forms in volcanic cavities through hydrothermal activity. Its beauty and uniqueness have made it a sought-after gemstone worldwide, symbolizing serenity and connection to the ocean. 

Energetically, it is known as a stone for calming, cooling and soothing the emotional body, releasing undesirable attachments and relieving stress. It is a stone of tremendous benefit to the throat chakra, providing the power of clear communication and the emotional strength and stability that enable one to speak from the heart. It's also a stone of  feminine power, bringing in the goddess energies and allowing to access the Divine Femenine within. It supports a state of confident well being and relaxed knowledge of one's capacities.
