Larimar Dominican Republic

Larimar Dominican Republic (shop SKU DLRS10) is offered as a crystal online and at the bookshop on West 14th Street.

Larimar is a blue pectolite found in the Dominican Republic, valued for its sky-blue to turquoise color and white patterning. It is relatively soft and should be handled gently. In crystal traditions, larimar is associated with the sea and with calm. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed. The title gives the origin as Dominican Republic.
