Who knows why nature chooses to hide its rare wonders in any particular location? For Larimar, the remote mountain ranges on the Island of Hispaniola contain a single square kilometer of land that is the source of Larimar - the only place on earth one can find this rare stone.
The Island's volcanic heritage played a hand in the gemstone's creation. Larimar's calm, dreamy blues are a gift from one of nature's most violent natural forces - a volcanic eruption. Millions of years of erosion eventually washed some pieces into a river which naturally polished them as they tumbled downstream and were eventually found on a beach in a remote part of this Caribbean Island. marahlago® now mines the stone in the southern part of the island. A remote location, a rare gemstone and a Caribbean Island - what an exotic heritage for such a wonderful gemstone.
