Larimar is a rare blue variety of Pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic, which is located in the Caribbean. Its color varies from white, light blue, green-blue to deep blue. While Pectolite in general is not a rare occurrence, none have the unique blue coloration of Larimar, which is the result of cobalt substituting for calcium.

Larimar is a high vibration stone that connects to both the Thymus (2nd Heart) and Throat Chakras. It is often used in self-healing or laying-on of stones. Larimar is a stone of communication, clarity and truth. It brings calm and balance to any situation, removing stress and negativity. Larimar will help to embrace change and move through the process effortlessly.

Larimar resonates with the gentle, soothing energy of water, bringing a sense of tranquility and a reminder to “go with the flow”. It carries a strong energetic connection to dolphins and the sea.

Larimar is a nurturing stone, which stimulates the process of healing to body, mind and soul. Larimar can assist in identifying and understanding behaviors caused by old patterns/programs that effectively sabotage the self, and allow for their release.

Larimar helps to achieve a deep meditative state, a connection with higher vibrational energy that enhances communication with angels, guides, guardians and Source.

Larimar can assist with chemical imbalances, mood disorders and infections. Use Larimar in healing layouts or grids. This is such a joyous piece to keep with you! Carry in pockets, pouches or medicine bags.
