Clairvoyant and psychic Edgar Cayce predicted that an extraordinary healing blue stone, a remnant of the lost continent of Atlantis, would be discovered on a Caribbean Isle. Such a stone, the larimar, unique to the island of Hispaniola, came to the world's attention in the 1980s. Larimar is a rare form of the mineral pectolite also known as  "Stefilia's Stone." Although Larimar's dscovery dates back to 1916, it was a local artist in the 1970s who rediscovered it washed up on the shores of a remote beach. He named the stone after his daughter Larissa and the Spanish word for sea "Mar."

Larimar is found on a one square kilometer on a mountaintop in the Dominican Republic. It is surrounded and protected by a small range of mountains whose volcanic heritage forged the stone. Acquiring this gem is difficult due to Mother Nature and the local terrain. Millions of years of erosion washed the mineral downstream into a river making its final destination a remote beach in the Caribbean.

Few people have ever seen Larimar, making it one of nature's best-kept secrets. Larimar is a hard stone with a color palette of blue and green, with no two stones alike. It has both volcanic and oceanic qualities. Larimar's mineral and chemical make up is unique and its copper ions help create its beautiful blue color. The exact creation process is unknown however, scientists believe the island's volcanic activity and its unique mineral composition is responsible for the stone's formation.
