LARIMAR is the bluish variety of the mineral PEKTOLITH.
PEKTOLITH is actually nothing special - a sodium silicate with a hardness of 4.5 - 5
In the DomRep. there is a variety that is partially colored blue by iron ions - and this is something that is not normally found.
The esoteric name "ATLANTIS STONE" gives this mineral something mystical - plus a number of miraculous "healing powers" - which makes the REAL LARIMAR relatively expensive.
In the meantime, of course, there are a lot of cheap "Larimar jewelry" from Chinese production - mostly dyed quartz!
The weight of this piece is 123 grams, this good quality already costs over 2 dollars per gram at the mine!
Dimmension: 6 x 5 x 2 cm
