Larimar Gemstone 925 Silver Plated Handmade Adjustable Bangle Bracelet Larimar (pronounced lah-ri-MAR) is a variety of silicate minerals called pectolite, formed tens of millions of years ago by underwater volcanic activity. It is not the only pectolite but the only one known to have a blue palette due to hydrothermal fluids flowing into the cavities in volcanic rock that have collected a particular mix of minerals along the way. The stone varies in color: Generally, the deeper the blue, the rarer and more expensive the piece, and it can have swirls of sea foam white, traces of green, and sometimes even a splash of rusty red, and patterns that look a bit like waves. Larimar’s energy is one of deep compassion and love and can help inspire self-confidence and deep emotional healing. Its calm and soothing energy can help reduce stress, anxiety, and phobias, as well as feelings related to shame or guilt.
