Sea Turtles symbolize longevity, peace, grounding, ancient wisdom, and emotional strength. A Turtle carries the world on its back, grounding it wherever it goes.

A Turtle is determined and persistent as it slowly moves on land, steadily evolving physically. By slowing down and pacing yourself you can endure the chaos of life’s transformational cycles with ease.

A Turtle moves swiftly through water, learning to navigate its sensitivity to others’ emotions. At times it can feel like an emotional tsunami as you navigate through the deep waters of the world’s emotions.

By practicing non-attachment, you can be at peace with your own path and appreciate all aspects of yourself. Keeping a steadfast mind will bring confidence and calm to your emotional state, as well as peace and acceptance to your unique path.

There is so much more to know about Larimar than just that it is one of the most beautiful gemstones in the world.

First of all – it’s one of the most rare, too!  LARIMAR is found in only one place in the world - one square kilometer (approximately ½ square mile!) in the mountains above Bahoruco in the Dominican Republic! 

LARIMAR is a volcanic stone, the result of volcanic activity that occurred millions of years ago!  It’s a form of pectolite, and although pectolite is found in nearly every hemisphere, none have the unique volcanic blue coloration of Larimar.  Pectolite is normally gray or white, yet pectolite from that one location in the world is a beautiful blue pectolite – that which we know and love as Larimar!  

It is awe-inspiring to ponder the fact that the series of events that created this beautiful blue wonder have only occurred one time, in one place throughout the history of the world!   Amazing!
