History and folklore
Larimar is a blue form of pectolite found in only one place in the world, the mountains of the Dominican Republic. It was rediscovered in 1974, and its name blends Larissa, the finder's daughter, with mar, Spanish for sea. Local folklore had long spoken of a blue stone washed down rivers to the beaches. Because of its sea colors and island home, modern witches use it for calm, gentle love and emotional healing, much like the ocean itself.
