Larimar, also known as the Dolphin Stone, is an extremely rare blue variety of the Pectolite mineral family. Forged exclusively in the basalt rock of the volcanic Dominican Republic,
Larimar's soothing blue hues combine the Sea and Sky energies. It brings the ancient wisdom of Atlantis and the healing power of dolphins to harmonise the body and soul.

Spiritual Energy

Larimar is one of the cardinal Water element stones, yet is born of Fire in its volcanic origins. One of the few crystals to balance the polarities of these energies, Larimar cools and calms to nurture the physical and emotional bodies. Sometimes referred to as a natural birthstone for Pisces, its fiery origins also make it well suited to Leo star signs. The calming and healing properties of Larimar help relieve stress and promote better communication through the throat chakra.

Water Stones

Like sunlight dancing on the Caribbean waters, Larimar's soft blue is often streaked with white patterns. The most common colours can range from shades of light blue, green
blue and deep blue, the perfect reflection of the moving ocean. Each stone is unique and will vary in shape and colour.

Larimar is photosensitive, so we recommend keeping this gemstone away from direct sunlight. Exposure to sunlight will gradually turn the blue colours to white.

Styling with Larimar

Larimar Jewellery can be styled in many ways. The colour looks best set in silver. Larimar also matches well with many other gemstones. We love pairing Larimar with Turquoise or Moonstone!

When styling your jewels, remember that larger rings and necklaces make bold statement pieces that can easily be worn by themselves for impact. You can also easily stack larimar with your favourite silver jewels, mixing and matching to suit your mood or vibe.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Due to Larimar’s photosensitive nature, the brilliant blue hues can fade over time, especially if you spend a lot of time in the sun. Be sure not to use harsh chemicals to clean Larimar, as the soft stone can corrode. When cleaning, use only warm water and a mild soap or detergent. Remove all the soapy residues by rinsing the gemstone very well. You can wipe it down using a soft cotton cloth. Store Larimar away from other gems and jewellery to prevent scratches and fractures.  It is recommended that Larimar is wrapped in a soft cloth, bag, or a fabric-lined jewellery box.
