“Larimar’s soft, soothing blues and calming turquoise is streaked with white patterns that resemble sunlight dancing beneath the crystalline Caribbean waters.”
«Los suaves y relajantes azules de larimar y su tranquilizante color turquesa son alterados por movimientos blancos que se parecen a la luz del sol bailando debajo de las cristalinas aguas del Caribe.»

Larimar stone is found only in the Caribbean waters of the Dominican Republic where it’s said to be a part of the legendary Atlantis. An ancient prophet once declared that what made Atlantis special was its blue gem that bears healing powers. Because of its striking resemblance, Larimar is then named as the Atlantis Stone.
Besides being a stunning gemstone, this beauty is also said to have some particular healing uses and purposes:
- Larimar is one of the cardinal Water element stones, yet is born of Fire in its volcanic origins. One of the few crystals to balance the polarities of these energies, Larimar cools tempers and calms fears and relieves stress.
- A stone of clear communication, it has a distinct vibration that aids you to communicate with clarity. If you are a singer, it is a very helpful stone to wear close to the throat, as it will support the health of the voice and enhance your singing.
- It is known to assist the removal of energy blockages, especially in the throat, chest, neck area and head.
- It helps to dissolve emotional barriers and to release stored negative emotions such as angry thoughts, remembered pain and other detrimental emotions that are not benefiting you.
- As it is a crystal of serenity, it promotes relaxation in every aspect, which makes it perfect for meditation.
- It is a wonderful stone for mothers, during and after pregnancy. It helps in alleviating post-partum depression, and relaxes the stress associated with new parenthood.
- Its vibration will aid you to forgive others that may have caused you difficulties, and to release deep seated emotional pain, resentment and fear.
Taking all this in mind, I styled it with a light blue turtleneck and mani. It was really cold out there for me to pretend being in a tropical beach and wearing summer clothing, lol.
If you also want to carry a piece of the Caribbean with you (literally) then make sure to visit http://larimar.com/collections/larimar-jewelry and dive into their stunning pieces. Every single one of them is conceived, designed, and handcrafted in the ‘cradle of Larimar’ – in the Dominican Republic with a high respect for the ethical work standards and a fair-wage-policy to their craftsmen.
