More About Larimar:

Larimar is a rare, blue variety of Pectolite and although it's massive in its outward appearance, it has a triclinic crystal system. The blue color of this stone, often mottled with white or green, resembles the ocean when glistening with sunlight.  Lower-quality pieces will sometimes contain red or brown flecks.  High-quality Larimar sometimes displays a slight pearlescence. This beautiful blue stone seems to have the ocean written on it, like a reflection of the clear Caribbean waters of its origin, and all of its associations are with water. Larimar is a beautiful blue stone known for enhancing communication, whether with people, animals, or even elemental water spirits. It has a joyful yet peaceful energy.

Larimar is a gentle stone that offers you deep and profound healing while working with it.  It is also sometimes referred to as “Dolphin Stone” and facilitates all types of communication (between people, with animals, or with your guides).  Larimar corresponds to the water element and is a stone of empathy and compassion that can facilitate feelings of oneness and of belonging to the whole.

This blue variety of Pectolite is aligned with the water element and is most helpful when you work with it to wash away (physically and energetically) anything that no longer feels supportive in your life.
