🌊 Larimar — The Stone of Tranquil Truth and Oceanic Wisdom

Scientific Name: Sodium Calcium Silicate Hydroxide (NaCa₂Si₃O₈(OH))

Crystal System: Triclinic

Hardness: 4.5–5 Mohs

Color Range: Sky blue, turquoise, white swirls; occasional brown matrix

🔬 Geological Origins

Larimar is a geological marvel—a rare blue form of Pectolite formed in volcanic cavities during intense basaltic activity. Its coloration is due to copper replacing calcium in the crystal lattice, a substitution unique to this locality. As lava flowed through mineral-rich terrain, it captured and deposited trace elements into cavities and dikes, creating the layered, oceanic hues we now associate with Larimar.

The stone was first noticed in 1916 by Father Miguel Domingo Fuertes Loren, but official recognition came in 1974 when Miguel Méndez and Norman Rilling found fragments on a beach. Méndez named it after his daughter Larissa and the Spanish word for sea—“mar”—symbolizing its deep connection to Caribbean waters. Today, Larimar is mined exclusively from the Los Chupaderos mine, which contains over 2,000 vertical shafts.

🌈 Visual & Energetic Signature

Larimar’s appearance evokes the serenity of tropical seas—soft turquoise, sky blue, and white streaks like sunlight filtering through water. Its energy mirrors this visual calm, offering a gentle, flowing vibration that soothes the emotional body and uplifts the spirit.
