Description
This 2.8-inch Larimar pendant is suspended on a 20, 22, or 24-inch copper chain. It has gone through a process of copper plating called Electroforming, where a thick layer of copper is permanently bonded to the stone, and both pendant and chain have been treated with a darkening patina as well as a protective lacquer to slow the oxidization process of the copper.
Larimar is a dreamy, mesmerizing stone that was first discovered in the early 1900’s, but wasn’t mined until 1974. It has only ever been found found one place in the world – within ONE square mile in the Dominican Republic. Larimar is a deeply nurturing stone that helps harmonize the body and soul, awakens inner wisdom, and reconnects us with joyful energy. It is a fairly rare stone, which makes it highly sought after, more expensive than other stones, and frequently imitated. True Larimar is a very soft stone, and has a distinct pattern that rarely varies. It is not transparent at all, but the colors have a depth and cloudy/hazy sheen to them that is not easily replicated.
