Larimar Definition
Larimar is a blue pectolite, and a result of volcanic activity, which occurred many million years ago on the island of la "La Hispaņola". Its crystallization took place when the volcanic lava was cooling off as columns in the tubular "chimneys", in which these pectolites, andesites, basalts and other minerals formed.
This gemstone was called Larimar by Mr. Miguel Mendez: "Lari" in honor of his daughter "Larissa" and at the sea - in Spanish "Mar -" where it is found.
