43 x 28 x 8 mm

Origin: Dominican Republic (only location worldwide)

Larimar is a variety of pectolite and forms hydrothermally in basalt. Its sky-blue color is due to the element vanadium. Larimar belongs to the mineral class of silicates.
Larimar was first discovered in the Dominican Republic in 1974. Its use as a gemstone began in the early 1980s. Because of its sea-blue color and as a tribute to his daughter Larissa, local art expert Miguel Mendez coined the name "Larimar" (mar = sea/Spanish). When the deposits along the southwest coast were exhausted, Mendez discovered another deposit seven kilometers offshore. The blue pectolite is usually available as a polished cabochon and is highly sought after as a gemstone, a prophecy stone, and a healing stone.


The effect of Larimar primarily relates to broadening one's intellectual horizons and opening up new paths with different perspectives. Larimar healing stones thus support the redesign of one's life by dissolving ingrained thought and behavior patterns. This opens up multifaceted possibilities that guide thoughts and actions in a positive direction. The Atlantis stone grants people serenity and inner peace. As a protective stone, Larimar protects against negative energies.

Larimar promotes restful sleep and pleasant dreams that transport you back to your past. The sky-blue stone represents clarity, orientation, and peace. Through its healing powers, Larimar is important for harmonizing energies that stimulate spiritual growth. Its sea-blue color sparkles with vitality, making this healing stone a good aid for grief and sadness. The Atlantis stone also protects against infidelity, treachery, deceit, and false friends. Larimar is also important for stimulating our intuition and inspiration, leading us to greater self-realization. Larimar's healing effect on the psyche is:

Mental and spiritual development
Freed from the victim mentality
Opens up new perspectives
Conveys a feeling of spaciousness
Helps with lack of motivation

Effect on the body

Larimar's effect on the body is expressed by stimulating the body's self-healing powers and brain activity. The national stone of the Dominican Republic also enhances the effectiveness of massage treatments and has a positive influence on the skeletal system. Larimar healing stones are also used to treat muscle and joint stiffness. Its healing powers are particularly effective on the legs, hands, fingers, and feet. Larimar protects muscles from cramping and relieves pain from lumbago or a pinched sciatic nerve. The Atlantis stone is also used for allergic reactions to bacteria or dust mites.

Application for optimal effect

Larimar's most powerful healing effect occurs on the throat chakra. This stone of the future sends our thoughts to the soul level, into a higher consciousness. Its meditative function can unfold its energies even better when combined with other blue stones such as turquoise or chalcedony. You should discharge the Larimar once a week under warm running water and recharge it in the morning or evening sun for about 60 minutes. Larimar healing stones can be applied directly to the skin.

The light blue Atlantis stone is particularly suitable for reflexology. Its main chakras are the throat chakra and the heart chakra. In meditation, Larimar's significance is that of self-realization. The stone also releases its powers in a stone circle or simply through contemplation. It is said to be particularly beneficial for children who tend to daydream. If the Larimar changes color, this is a sign that it is working particularly intensively for you. Therefore, you should always make sure to clean it weekly.
