The listing, Rare Larimar Blue Pectolite gemstone!! Carved into a dolphin! has ended.
Called the "Gemstone of the Caribbean" it is very difficult to find as it only exists in 1 location! A mountainous region, relatively inaccessible in the province of Barahana in the Dominican Republic.
This particular gemstone has a dolphin carved in in and was not made for jewelry but a keepsake, to keep on your nightstand or somewhere else special in your home where you spend a lot of time, because as is explained below this particular rare gem is believed to have incredible healing properties.
It is often made into jewelry, but I found this in ST. Thomas years ago, as you may notice by the photo of the card describing this stone.
Larimar is considered a healing stone, and said to be finely tuned to the human body particularly to the throat area. It is said that it increases speech and communication skills and supports the body’s natural healing process. Persons believing in this have been known to wear Larimar jewelry or to put pieces of Larimar in their pockets or under their pillows. Larimar is also called the Atlantis Stone, because a Spiritual master who lived in Trinidad and Tobago and who founded many Yoga Centers across the world, claimed that some islands in the Caribbean including the Dominican Republic were part of the lost continent of Atlantis. He went further to say that on one of those islands a blue stone with healing powers would be found – a description that corresponds to Larimar. Today, there are thousands of people, naturalists and persons practicing alternative and holistic healing methods, who use Larimar to assist and reinforce healing processes.
