Larimar

In healing stone lore, Larimar is also known as the Atlantis stone. Its only occurrence in its blue colors to this day is the Dominican Republic.
Legend has it that Larimar is connected to the sunken paradise. According to this, Larimar is said to be the only remaining testimony of the fabled island of Atlantis.
Larimar symbolizes boundlessness. Its colors are those of the endless sky and the vast sea. It has been worn since ancient history as a protective stone against evil spirits, natural disasters, and diseases. This stone is said to have many properties, including that Larimar is supposed to open new ways of thinking and acting and serve self-realization.
Due to its high calcium content, it is also said to have a strengthening effect on bones and growth. Larimar is a very popular and attractive jewelry stone, used for necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pendants, and bangles. It is very valuable, as it has become almost exploited and therefore very rare.

The chemical formula of Larimar: Ca2Na [OH/Si3O8] + Fe, Mn
