The Larimar symbolizes boundlessness. Its colors are those of the endless sky and the vast sea. It has been worn since early history as a protective stone against evil spirits, natural disasters, and illnesses. Many things are attributed to this stone; among other things, the Larimar is said to open new paths in thinking and acting and to serve self-realization.
Due to its high calcium content, it is also said to have a strengthening effect on bones and growth. The Larimar is a very popular and attractive jewelry stone, used for necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pendants, and bracelets. It is very valuable, as it has become almost exhausted and thus very rare.
