{"product_id":"raw-larimar-stone-natural-blue-pectolite","title":"Raw Larimar Stone Natural Blue Pectolite","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eRaw Larimar is a rare blue variety of pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic. Each piece shows the soft sea-blue coloring the stone is known for, marbled with white and grey where the mineral formed around volcanic rock. These are natural tumbled pieces with a smooth surface, not cut or polished into shapes, so the coloring and pattern differ from stone to stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLarimar Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Dominican Larimar, the only source in the world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft blue-green coloring with white marbling and natural inclusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth tumbled finish that keeps the natural stone shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoughly 1.5 to 2 inches, about 5 oz per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually as one hand-picked stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits comfortably in the palm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLarimar Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLarimar's blue coloring is unusual among natural stones, reading as ocean or sky rather than the greys and browns of most raw minerals. That makes a raw Larimar stone easy to work into a shelf, tray, or desk arrangement where you want a spot of color. Collectors seek it out because supply is limited to a single mining area, and raw pieces show the natural coloring more honestly than polished cabochons. It also makes a well-received gift for anyone who collects stones or is drawn to blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLarimar Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLarimar is a blue variety of pectolite, a sodium-calcium silicate. The blue comes from copper substituting for calcium during formation in volcanic gas cavities. It rates around 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs hardness scale, softer than quartz, so it scratches more easily than most display stones. All genuine Larimar comes from a single mining area in Barahona Province, Dominican Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLarimar Usage Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay away from direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can fade the blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean with a soft damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore separately from harder stones, since Larimar scratches easily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep away from prolonged heat, which can affect the coloring over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle with dry hands to avoid transferring oils onto the surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eSize, shape, and color may vary from the photos.
