Product Description
This lovely freeform shaped blue semi precious gemstone Larimar designer cabochon is slightly domed on both sides and 35 mm by 26 mm and 8 mm thick.
This one is slightly domed on both sides!
Larimar is a rare blue form of the mineral Pectolite, a sodium calcium silicate mineral.
It is a natural stone occurring in this rare color in only one place in the world, in the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean Sea.
Larimar occurs as an aggregate of needle like radiating crystals or fibers grown together in a solid mass, and when cut it reflects those growths in sprays, swirls and orbs.
The blue color is caused by copper inclusions.
Larimar cabochons are soft and the color can fade in prolonged sunlight.
Because of its softness and natural inclusions, the cabochon stones are rarely clean, but rather contain undercutting, chattering, fracture lines and surface flaws.
Metaphysical Properties: Larimar is believed to encourage communication. It is considered a powerful healer and is said to help those with anxieties and phobias.
