Larimar is a very rare variety of Pectolite, coloured blue by Copper, that can only be found in the Dominican Republic. It is also known as the Atlantis Stone, due to the belief that the Dominican Republic was once part of the lost continent of Atlantis. The discovery of Larimar was foretold 30 years earlier by the prophet Edgar Cayce, who said that a blue stone would be found on a Caribbean island that was a powerful healing and communication crystal. Larimar is photosensitive, which means it will fade if frequently exposed to light. When it is not being used or worn, store it in a dark place.
Larimar is an earth-healing stone. It connects with nature and will counteract imbalances in the earth's energy.
Larimar helps to heal and tone the throat. By opening up the throat chakra, it promotes self-confidence and encourages us to express our deepest truths and fears.
Especially helpful in removing self-imposed blockages and constraints, Larimar assists us in taking control of our lives by dissolving self-sabotaging behaviour, alleviating guilt and removing fear.
Larimar is a wonderful meditation stone. It quickly and effortlessly calms the mind and bestows inner peace. It naturally raises consciousness and facilitates contact and communication with the angelic realms.
Larimar brings harmony and assists in balancing the yin-yang energies, thus unifying our male and female qualities. It promotes self healing and is excellent for unplugging the meridians and dissolving energy blocks, particularly in the head, neck and chest.
Larimar embraces love and joy, opening up the heart by allowing us to express unconditional love.
