Larimar symbolizes boundlessness. Its colors are those of the endless sky and the vast sea. Since ancient times, it has been worn as a protective stone against evil spirits, natural disasters, and illnesses. Many properties are attributed to this stone; among other things, Larimar is said to open new ways of 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.
