LARIMAR

Chakra- Throat (5th); Element-Water, Fire; Hardness-4.5-5

Larimar is a form of blue Pectolite and sometimes contains vivid red-brown Hematite inclusions.  It comes only from island of Hispaniola, in the Caribbean Sea.  Discovered by Mr. Mendez, a Peace Corp worker, in 1974, he gave it the name Larimar....Lari (after his daughter Larisa) and Mar (from the Spanish name for Sea) as the colors so resembled the sea which was so close in proximity.

Larimar's powers are believed to lie in the ability to help us view events from a different perspective than what we have already formed.  It softens, enlightens and heals in a physical, emotion, mental and spiritual fashion.

As a gentle, soft, sky blue Caribbean healer, it brings the tranquility of the sea and air to heart and mind. It soothes and uplifts hurt, fear, depression, pain of life, change, and trauma in an amazing way.

Larimar will help with self expression, patience, acceptance,  simplicity, artwork and creativity, in one's life.
