Sourcing Larimar: A Journey to the Dominican Republic
Larimar is a rare blue variety of the silicate mineral pectolite, found only in the Dominican Republic. This beautiful gemstone was first discovered in 1916 but gained recognition in 1974 when a local artisan and a Peace Corps volunteer rediscovered it on the island's beaches. The gemstone is mined in the mountains of the Dominican Republic, near the town of Barahona, from deposits formed in volcanic rock.
The mining process is labour-intensive and often carried out in small-scale operations. Miners work diligently to extract Larimar from narrow veins within the mountains, ensuring the least impact on the surrounding environment. Each piece of Larimar is unique, with its colours and patterns reminiscent of the ocean’s waves and sky.
The Mesmerising Colours of Larimar
Larimar's colour palette ranges from light sky blue to deep volcanic blue, with occasional white, green, or red hues. The most prized Larimar stones are those with intense blue shades and a clear, uninterrupted pattern that mirrors the serene and dynamic nature of the ocean. Each stone is a miniature work of art, capturing the essence of water and sky in its delicate matrix.
