Larimar: The Rare Carribean Gemstone Born of Fire and Sea

What Is Larimar?

A Rare Gemstone Born of Fire and Sea

More than just one of the most beautiful gemstones in the world, Larimar is a rare treasure with a story as captivating as its oceanic hues.

Found in only one remote location in the world—a small, mountainous area above Baoruco in the Dominican Republic—Larimar is truly one-of-a-kind. This ethereal gemstone is a form of pectolite, but unlike the common gray or white versions found elsewhere, Larimar’s delicate blues are the result of ancient volcanic activity and trace minerals, especially copper. These unique conditions created the mesmerizing gemstone known as blue Larimar—something no other place on Earth has ever produced.

Each AAA Larimar stone in our Signature Collection is selected for its vibrant color, intricate patterning, and exceptional quality. Every piece is truly unique, just like the person who wears it.

The Colors of the Caribbean, Captured in Stone

Larimar’s palette ranges from the softest sky blue and seafoam green to rich, deep ocean blue. Some stones shimmer with translucent light, while others reveal intricate natural patterns—waves, clouds, or even what appear to be underwater landscapes.

Many see shapes and symbols in their Larimar—much like a Rorschach painting.
Do you see a flower? A dolphin? A drifting cloud?
This personal connection is what makes each piece feel almost magical.

Nature's Signature Touches

• Turtleback Patterning: Named for its resemblance to a turtle’s shell, this natural formation adds depth and interest to select stones.

• Scenic Stones: Rare pieces may feature reddish plumes from iron inclusions, forming designs reminiscent of coral, ferns, or island landscapes.

• Color Variations: From crystalline white to sea-green and intense royal blue, the beauty of Larimar is endlessly diverse. The stone that speaks to you is the one meant for you.

A Stone Steeped in Myth and Meaning

Often called the Atlantis Stone, Larimar is linked to the legend of the lost city of Atlantis, a connection made famous by the mystic Edgar Cayce. He predicted a powerful blue stone would one day be discovered in the Caribbean—believed by many to be Larimar.

It’s also affectionately known as the Dolphin Stone, for its oceanic energy, and more recently, the Lucky Stone—a nickname sparked by a woman who found love and fortune shortly after receiving her first Larimar ring. (Your story is waiting to unfold…)
