Metaphysical & Healing Properties

While many of our customers find spiritual and energetic resonance with our crystals, all metaphysical and healing claims are based on traditional and cultural beliefs. These statements have not been evaluated by licensed medical professionals and are not intended to replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We do not recommend using crystals as a substitute for conventional medical or psychological treatment and do not claim they cure or heal medical conditions.

Natural Beauty & Authenticity

Our crystal pieces and lamps are naturally formed and carefully extracted. Inclusions, druzy pockets, surface texture, and color variations are part of their authentic character—not flaws. These features reflect the raw beauty and ancient story held within each stone. We honor these natural distinctions and hand-select every piece with care, ensuring quality, integrity, and a touch of magic.

 Dubbed “The Spiritual Stone”, Larimar is a usually a light blue mineral that has dark undulations and can be translucent or opaque.  It can also be found in colors of blue-green, gray or red with white. This semi- hard stone is a type of pectolite or is mostly composed of pectolite.  Pectolite is an acid silicate hydrate of sodium and calcium.  Pectolite can be found in many locations but the larimar variety of pectolite can only be found in the dormant, volcanic mountain range in the Baoruco Mountain of the Dominican Republic.   

History

Legend states that the Larimar was originally discovered in 1916 by Father Miguel Domingo Fuertes Loer of the Barahona Parish.  Soon after his find, he requested permission to explore and exploit the mind, but his request was denied and the stone remained hidden for nearly sixty more years.  That was until 1974, when a US Peace Corps volunteer, Norman Rilling, and a Dominican Native, Miguel Mendez rediscovered the stone on a beach at the foot of the Bahoruco Mountain range.  Dominic Natives believed that the stone came from the sea and they called the gem, blue stone.  Mendez took his daughters name Larissa and the Spanish work for sea (Mar) and coined the name, Larimar.
