Larimar: The Stone of Sky and Sea

Larimar is a rare, beautiful gemstone found only in the Dominican Republic. Its soft blues and gentle whites swirl together like the Caribbean sky reflected on the ocean, making it instantly recognisable and deeply calming. 

Its name comes from a combination of 'Larissa' (the miner’s daughter) and 'mar', the Spanish word for sea.  Over time, it has become a symbol of the Dominican Republic and a prized gem for collectors and jewellery lovers around the world.

People believe that is precious stone carries the energy of water and sky. It is often called a stone of serenity, thought to calm emotions, encourage truth, and bring clarity to life. Many souls feel it helps them connect with their inner voice, express themselves freely, and release stress or negative energy.

Beyond its beauty, Larimar is worn as jewellery for the peace and balance it inspires. Wearing this stone is like carrying a tiny piece of sky and sea, a little reminder that serenity and beauty are always within reach.
