Discovery

The discovery of Larimar is relatively recent in the realm of gemstones. It was first encountered in 1916 by a Dominican Republic priest, Miguel Méndez, who stumbled upon the stone on a beach. However, it wasn't until 1974 that Larimar gained significant attention when Miguel Méndez's daughter, Larissa, started promoting the gemstone's beauty and uniqueness. The stone was subsequently named "Larimar" by combining Larissa's name with "mar," the Spanish word for sea.

Formation & Scarcity of Larimar

Larimar, often called the "Blue Stone of Atlantis" or "The Dolphin Stone" is a type of pectolite mineral formed millions of years ago through volcanic activity. The gemstone gets its unique blue color from copper impurities, and its scarcity comes from the limited access to Larimar mines in the Dominican Republic. With the mines closing, this Dominican Republic gemstone has become increasingly valuable, making high-quality Larimar harder to find.
