Larimar is from the family Pectolite. Pectolite is an acid silicate hydrate of calcium and sodium. It's beautiful color gives it the nick names of dolphin stone or water stone. This a very rare stone since it only can be found in the Caribbean
The darker the stone the higher quality. I like to use this stone mainly in the Lava Line. It is very popular due to the color of the waters of Hawaii. See more infromation at http://www.caribbeanlarimar.com
