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 diseases. Many things are attributed to this stone, among other things, the Larimar is said 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. The Larimar is a very popular and attractive jewelry stone, which is used for necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pendants, and bangles. It is very valuable because it has become almost exhausted and thus very rare.
