• This stone is known by many "names" : The Atlantis Stone, The Dolphin Stone, Stefilia's Stone, Caribbean Gemstone. Larimar is a blue variety of the mineral Pectolite. Pectolite is not a rare mineral and is found throughout the world, but the exquisite sea-blue color exhibited in the Larimar variety is very unique, and only comes from one place in the world. It is found only in a limited deposit in the Dominican Republic, and is virtually the only gemstone to be found in the entire Caribbean.
• Gemologically, blue Larimar is a hydrated sodium calcium silicate with manganese. Its distinct blue color is owed to calcium being replaced by copper impurities. The composition of Larimar is often mixed with other materials such as calcite and hematite. Its color can vary from white to light-blue, and from medium sky to volcanic blue.
• Sometimes, it contains reddish or brown spots, caused by oxidation of iron within the matrix of the crystal. Chemical Formula: NaCa2Si3O8(OH); Color: Blue, Green, Multicolored; Hardness: 4.5 - 5;
