Larimar's soft sea blue is easy to wear every day, and it is hard to find anywhere else. This adjustable bracelet sets a freeform piece of it in your choice of gold tone or silver tone.
The stone shows the soft blue and white patterning larimar is known for. Sizing is not a worry when it is a gift. The gold tone warms the blue, while silver tone keeps it cool and beachy; both are electroplated finishes rather than solid gold or sterling. Each stone is natural and freeform, so yours will vary a little in shape, size and pattern from the photo. Wear it on its own or stacked with simple bangles for a summer look.
About Larimar
Larimar is a blue variety of the mineral pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic, around the city of Barahona, where it occurs in volcanic andesite and basalt. Its blue comes from copper substituting for calcium in the crystal. The name dates to 1974, when Miguel Mendez combined his daughter's name, Larissa, with mar, the Spanish word for sea. It is soft for a gemstone, about 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale.
Stone Meaning: Larimar is traditionally associated with calm and clear communication.
