Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Larimar?
Larimar is a rare blue variety of pectolite found only in one location on Earth — the mountains of Barahona in the Dominican Republic. Its unique blue and white swirling patterns resemble the Caribbean Sea, which is why it's often called 'The Atlantis Stone.' No two Larimar stones are identical.
What is Dominican Amber?
Dominican Amber is fossilized tree resin that is 25-40 million years old. It's among the most transparent amber in the world and often contains perfectly preserved insects, flowers, and plant matter. Dominican Blue Amber — which appears golden in normal light but glows blue under UV light — is one of the rarest gems on the planet.
Are your stones authentic?
Absolutely. Every stone we sell is natural, untreated, and sourced directly from artisan mines in the Dominican Republic. We provide a certificate of authenticity with every purchase.
Do you offer wholesale pricing?
Yes! We work with boutiques, jewelry stores, and resellers worldwide. Visit our Wholesale page to fill out an inquiry form and we'll schedule a call to discuss pricing and our catalog.
How do I care for Larimar jewelry?
Larimar is relatively soft (4.5-5 on the Mohs scale). Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, extreme heat, or prolonged direct sunlight. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Store separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratching.
Where do you ship?

How are your products made?
Each piece is individually handcrafted by skilled artisans in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. We hand-select every stone, then our jewelers set them in sterling silver or gold using traditional techniques. This is not mass-produced jewelry — each piece is unique.
