Dear Your Jewelry Box Customer,

From time to time we will send short newsletters with interesting information about jewelry and jewelry components. We hope you enjoy them.

Larimar — one of the ‘hottest’ stones on the market today. Even if blue is not your favorite, you have to admire Larimar’s extraordinary color -- similar to a tropical ocean. It was discovered in the 1970s, is found only in the Dominican Republic, and is hard enough to be used in jewelry (5 – 7 Mohs scale). The name "Larimar" was given to the stone by a Dominican who named the stone after his daughter Larissa and mar, the Spanish word for ocean. This unique Caribbean gemstone ranges in shades from pale to sky blue and may be mistaken for turquoise. Larimar is formed when volcanic action combines with the copper in the soil. It is indeed a beautiful and sought-after stone for jewelry. Larimar is said to represent peace and clarity, healing and love. It is reputed to be helpful for those experiencing stress and anxiety.
