This gem of the Carribean is a rare form of pectolite, which was discovered in the 1970's and is only found in the Dominican Republic. It has an extraordinary blue appearance similar to the color of the ocean in tropical areas. The name "Larimar" comes from a combination of Larissa and Mar and was given to the stone by a Dominican who named the stone after his daughter Larissa and Mar, the Spanish word for sea. 
 
The geometric spears in these earrings are of outstanding quality, of which the color, luster and striations in the stones are superior.
 
They are a statement all on their own without embellishments paired on with simple 14k solid white gold shepherd hook ear wires.
 
Overall length including the earwires is just a tad over 1.5"
