The larimar necklace is a piece of jewelry that brings the colors of the Caribbean Sea to your neckline. Its sky blue, mixed with white and pale turquoise, featuring cloudy patterns unique to each stone, evokes crystal-clear waters and tropical skies. Larimar is a variety of pectolite found in only one place in the world: the mountains of Barahona in the Dominican Republic. Discovered in 1974 by geologist Miguel Méndez, he named it by combining his daughter Larissa's name with the Spanish word *mar* (sea). Worn as a necklace, larimar naturally rests between the throat chakra and the heart chakra, an ideal placement for this stone which links sincere expression and emotional openness.
In lithotherapy, a larimar necklace is renowned for its properties of deep peace, serenity, and letting go. It is a stone that soothes suppressed anger, calms anxieties, and helps accept what cannot be changed. Worn around the neck, it accompanies each breath with a Caribbean gentleness that relaxes and liberates. It is recommended for stressed individuals, those carrying too much weight on their shoulders, and women during pregnancy for its reassuring energy. Larimar pairs beautifully with moonstone (gentleness and femininity), amethyst (spiritual appeasement), or rose quartz (unconditional love). For care, avoid prolonged direct sunlight which can fade its blue. Clean it with clear water and recharge it in moonlight. With a hardness of 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale, remove it before showering and exercising.
