Blue stone Larimar - deposit, history, huge photo selection, who will suit the stone

Larimar is a blue semi-precious mineral that is mined in only two places on the planet and is named after the daughter of its discoverer. Larimar, like a thin thread, connects two civilizations - the legendary Atlantis and the modern world. For this he is appreciated by magicians, healers, philosophers.

Story

There is information in the archaeological literature that the pale blue mineral was known to the inhabitants of Atlantis. The stone is a type of pectolite and is of volcanic origin. Pectolite is the primary rock of eleolithic saenites. This means that larimar stands next to rock-forming minerals, which are part of the rocks as essential components. Hence the assumption about the ancient origin of the larimar and its connection with the inhabitants of Atlantis. The second name of the stone is "Atlantis".

In the modern world, larimar was discovered by a Catholic priest in the early 20th century on the island of Haiti. He left the stone in his collection and did not apply for registration of his find.

Larimar was first described in detail by a Dominican jeweler named Miguel Mendos only half a century later, in 1974.His team of archaeologists discovered the stone in volcanic rocks from the first epoch of the Neogene period (Miocene), which ended five million years ago. Six years after the mineral was documented, large-scale mining began, followed by processing to create jewelry.

Mendoz was stunned by the beauty of the blue translucent mineral with white streaks on the surface, reminiscent of sea foam. He named the stone after his beloved youngest daughter Larisa. As an ending, he used the word "mar", which means "sea" in Spanish.

Field

To date, only two deposits of larimar have been developed:

• in the Dominican Republic on the Barahon Peninsula, in the region of the Baoruco ridge;
• in the vicinity of the commune of Soave, in the province of Verona, in Italy.

The specificity of larimar mining requires cutting through narrow tunnels by hand. Layers of rocks are lifted from the mines, and the blue mineral is already extracted from them. This is a very painstaking work, so larimar has a high cost.

Physical Properties

Larimar was formed as a result of the solidification of magma after a volcanic eruption, followed by crystallization. It contains impurities of iron, aluminum, magnesium and soft alkali metal potassium. Impurities are partly due to the unusual color of the mineral. The main physical properties of larimar are:

• value 5.5-6 on the Mohs hardness scale;
• triclinic syngony (asymmetric crystals in the structure);
• the fracture is uneven (when the mineral is split, uneven surfaces are formed with areas of different heights and shapes);
• translucent, cloudy;
• color white, blue, light blue, light blue;
• the surface is smooth, silky;
• has a matte finish.

The hardness value indicates that the stone can be scratched with a file, glass or a sharp knife.

How to distinguish a fake

Precious gem gained great popularity. Knowing about its miraculous properties, many people want to purchase it. Taking advantage of the situation, in pursuit of enrichment, dishonest craftsmen make fakes.

It is important to remember the most important thing about larimar - there are only two mines in the world where it is mined.All other places that sales assistants in jewelry stores or markets will talk about are fictitious, which means that the stone that they offer to buy is fake.

A natural mineral is not used to make earrings, because it is impossible to pick up two identical pebbles. If in the salon they offer to buy earrings, and completely identical stones are inserted into them, then this is a fake gem.

Real, natural larimar is famous for its unique pattern on its surface.

There are no identical lines, repeated intersections. The boundaries between the shades are fuzzy, but slightly blurred, the color transitions are smooth, wavy.

To identify a fake, just look at the stone in the rays of sunlight. A real stone should have a play of light and glare, as if the sun's rays glide over a calm water surface. A stone obtained artificially will not have such a shine.

No master can repeat the unique structure of the blue crystal. A fake stone looks poor in daylight.

The cost of the stone can also hint at a fake. An artificial mineral is inexpensive, sold mainly to tourists in souvenir shops.

Photos of larimar are published in catalogs of online stores. Even they show how unique the pattern on the surface of the mineral is.

When buying a natural stone, in a jewelry store, the buyer is given documentation with information about the mineral, the place of extraction and other characteristics. Real larimar has a high price.

Larimar was sent to people by higher powers for protection and help. His unique healing abilities are amazing. But if the owner has bad thoughts and evil intentions, then the mineral "will not take root" with him.
