Larimar was discovered in the Dominican Republic quite by accident. It is named for the discoverer’s daughter, Lara and the Spanish word for sea, “mer.” To date there is no where else in the world where it is mined, which makes it much more valuable. And the perfect stone to set off your summer wardrobe.
