History:
Larimar was formed when hot gases pushed crystallized minerals through volcanic tubes, in order to mine the mineral one must find those tubes and dig deep into ancient volcanoes.
Larimar is thought to be discovered around 1916, Dominican Republics Ministry of mining records show a request for the permission to mine a certain blue rock made by Father Miguel Domingo Fuertes Loren, however the request was rejected and the mineral forgotten until in 1974 when it was re-discovered by Miguel Mendez and a Peace Corps volunteer Norman Rilling. The stone is thought to be named after Miguel’s daughters name Larissa and the Spanish word for Sea “mar” representing the colours of the Caribbean Sea where it is found. The inhabitants of the island were long aware about Larimar, they believed that the stone came from the sea as it was easily collected on the shores of the island, However one day the stones left and there were no more Larimars on the island, locals explored up stream and found rock formations containing the stones.
