Larimar– Larimar is the singular known blue Pectolite mineral and is found in only the Dominican Republic. Larimar’s volcanic blue coloration comes from the copper replacement of calcium within the mineral, and it can sometimes display green chlorite inclusions or red spotting believed to be caused by oxidation. Also known as Atlantis Stone, Larimar displays vivid blue and white patterns reminiscent of waves and has become increasingly popular in the jewelry industry since mining for it began in 1974, though the first records of Larimar are from 1916. It is said that the the name in the 70's was invented by a local miner who joined the name of his daughter Larissa and the spanish word for Ocean "mar".
