Larimar

Miguel Méndez discovered Larimar in 1974 on a beach at the foot of the Bahoruco Mountain Range. Natives believed that the stone came from the sea, and they called the gem BlueStone. Miguel took his young daughter's name Larissa and the Spanish word for sea (mar) and formed Larimar, to suggest the colors of the Caribbean Sea where it was found. Only found in the Dominican Republic, Larimar contains hues of white, green, and blue reflecting the islands surround Sea.
