These are A-grade Larimar raw stones from Barahona Province, Dominican Republic, sold by the piece or by the pound. Larimar is a blue pectolite mined commercially in only this corner of the island, sea-blue marbled with white. Each piece runs 0.50 to 1 inch at Mohs 4.5-5. Hand-finished with jojoba oil, bought directly at the source. A favorite stress relief stone for crystal grids.
Larimar is part of the silicate family.
Larimar was officially identified as a gemstone in 1974, though locals had known of it for centuries.
Our raw pieces are sourced from Barahona Province, Dominican Republic. Worth knowing: a lot of the larimar on the market is heat-treated and coated. Ours is neither. It is finished with natural jojoba oil, which deepens the color already in the stone without adding any.
In crystal traditions, larimar is often associated with quiet, steady calm, working through difficult feelings at your own pace, and opening to connection, with yourself and others. It's traditionally linked to the throat and heart chakras. If that resonates, keep one in your pocket on days you know you'll need to speak up. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 0.5 to 1 inches on its longest side and weighs 5 to 20 grams. About 24 to 40 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. A on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradeWe work directly with the mine or workshop, with no intermediaries in between. The relationship is personal, pricing is transparent, and we can speak to each batch. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
