Larimar from Dominican Republic
An impressive gem-grade larimar gemstone.
This stone is beautifully polished although it can't be fully appreciated in our photos.
The back has only been lightly polished so has a dull lustre. Stones with this type of lustre absorb light instead of reflecting it.
Larimar can only be found in the Las Filipinas mine in the Dominican Republic.
It's rare to find a gemstone of this size. Both pieces in our collection were cut and polished from a larger rough piece of rock that we purchased some years ago.
