General information

Larimar is a rare, blue variety of pectolite. The stone is translucent to opaque with a glassy to satin sheen. Hemimorphite is sometimes sold as Chinese larimar but is not a larimar variety but a different rock.

Effect

Larimar gives mental and spiritual strength. It helps you to take your life into your own hands and to deal with changes. It provides inner peace, clarity and balance and counteracts self-destructive behavior and a victim attitude. The stone helps with fear, stress, feelings of guilt and extreme emotions (and therefore also for bipolar disorders) and helps to break through blockages. The stone encourages action but also stimulates to let things take their course if necessary. Larimar promotes deep meditation and helps to make contact with guides and angels. Physically, the stone stimulates the self-healing capacity of the body, has a pain-relieving effect and helps with problems of the lungs, throat, chest, heart and cartilage.

Care

Larimar is very sensitive to light and loses its blue color. This stone should therefore not be charged with sunlight. Larimar should also not be cleaned with water.

Applications

• Larimar can be worn on or near the body for a longer period of time.
• The stone can be placed on a chakra to remove blockages.
• During meditation, larimar can be placed on the solar plexus, chest or forehead.
