The Story of Larimar: A Caribbean Gemstone

Posted on 8 December, 2023 by Seaon Daim

Larimar's story starts in the far off southwestern area of the Dominican Republic, in the region of Barahona. It was in this beautiful seaside town of Los Chupaderos that Larimar's presence was revealed to the World. The credit for its disclosure goes to a neighborhood craftsman named Miguel Méndez.

In 1974, Miguel Méndez and a Harmony Corps volunteer, Norman Rilling coincidentally found an assortment of Larimar stones along the Bahoruco Stream. These stones, embellished with stunning shades of blue and green suggestive of the Caribbean Ocean, shocked the two men. They realized they had found something uncommon.
