The Story of Larimar
The striking beauty of Larimar jewelry is why it is so popular. Also known as 'The Caribbean Stone', Larimar was only ever found in one place on Earth - the Dominican Republic.
The story goes that the gentleman whose land Larimar was found on was allowed to name it. So, he named it after his daughter, 'Larisa' & the ocean, 'Mar'... It's a great story - one that (hilariously!) some of the locals dispute but we don't care! Larimar is GORGEOUS & we LOVE IT! Besides, who hates a good story?!
The Larimar stone is a rare form of Copper-based mineral that was discovered in 1916 but was disregarded & rediscovered in 1974. It was only productively mined for about a decade & now, is said to be mined-out. Crazier still, scientists say, it was a geological anomaly & there will never be any more.

Larimar FAQ
Where does Larimar come from?
Only the Dominican Republic. It's never been found anywhere else in the world, which is exactly why it's so special.
Is Larimar rare?
Very. Supply has been shrinking for years, and high-quality, deep-blue pieces are getting harder to find. If one speaks to you, don't wait.
How do I care for Larimar jewelry?
Larimar is a softer stone (about 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale), so treat it gently. Keep it out of long, direct sun exposure, which can fade the color over time. Skip harsh chemicals and cleaners, wipe it with a soft cloth, and store it separately so harder gems can't scratch it.
