Larimar is formed in volcanic rocks when hot fluids carrying silica, calcium, and other minerals fill cavities within the rock.
-
Miguel Mendez named the stone Larimar after his daughter Larissa and the Spanish word "mar," meaning "sea," to give it significance.
-
Credit for Larimar's rediscovery is also given to Peace Corps volunteer Norman Rilling and Miguel Mendez. They stumbled upon a striking blue rock in Barahona during their exploration.
-
Larimar, also known as "Stefilia's Stone," "Atlantis Stone," and "Dolphin Stone," exhibits varying shades of blue, from volcanic blue to light blue, accented with sterling silver.
-
The chemical formula of Larimar, NaCa2Si3O8(OH), belongs to the pectolite group of minerals, known for their high copper content and hydroxyl groups.
-
Larimar's distinctive sky-blue hue is a result of copper ions replacing calcium ions in the crystal structure, creating its unique color.
