Handcrafted in India / Dominican Republic
Larimar is a rare form of pectolite, which is only found in the Dominican Republic. In 1916 Father Miguel Domingo Fuertes Loren requested permission to mine a certain blue rock he had discovered, but his request was rejected. In 1974, Miguel Méndez and a Peace Corps volunteer rediscovered Larimar on a beach. Miguel took his young daughter's name Larissa and the Spanish word for sea (mar) and formed Larimar, by the colors of the water of the Caribbean Sea, where it was found. Accented with white topaz in a sterling silver mount. Skillfully crafted by silversmiths in India and presented with an 18" sterling silver chain.
