                                 Larimar
  Larimar was found in the Dominican Republic on an island called La Hispanola. On November 22, 1916, Father Miguel Domingo asked the Dominican Republic's Ministry of Mining for permission to exploit the mine of a blue rock he had found. However, the request fell through due to lack of funds. It was not until 1974 that the stone caught the eye of a Peace Corp volunteer Miguel Mendez. Up until this time the natives believed this stone to be nothing more then a pebble from the sea and called it the blue stone. However, Miguel knew it was much more. It wasn't long before Miguel had permission to name it, clam it and mine it. He promptly gave the blue stone the name of his young daughter Larissa and Mar, which is Spanish for sea. Thus, we have the name Larimar.
    Miguel spent many years preparing for the stone to be mined as well as researching its geology. He discovered that the Larimar was very unique in that the volcanic blue pectolite is only found on that one square kilometer of the Earth. When the volcano erupted on that island, the heat fused the unique copper with the coral reef, causing this beautiful stone to be formed in an ocean blue color.
      Some believe that because it has so much copper, it is one of the great healing stones. "we here at the Santa Fe Trail are very honored to be one of the largest distributors of Larimar in the United States," and hope that the Larimar brings you much joy and peace . May you always walk in peace and harmony.
