It's like owning a tiny piece of the Caribbean
I've wanted larimar for years so when I saw this, I jumped at the chance. It seemed like a great deal! I have seen it at gem and crystal shows but have never owned even a piece of jewelry of it.<br /><br />I am no expert at larimar but this seems to pass all the sniff tests and be genuine. A small piece of one of the rocks broke off. I wasn't sure if it was already fissured at a pressure point or not. The hardness is 4.5-5 so I don't feel that is impossible.<br /><br />These are beautiful examples with plenty of inclusions. The larimar is even more stunning if you wet it first.<br /><br />One of the 10 pieces arrived highly polished and that made the pattern and colors come out all that much more. The rest of the 9 pieces were less polished and chalkier in general.<br /><br />It all comes with a cute velvet bag inside of a little gift box. These would make a great gift for the crystal hoarder, rockhound or jewelry designer in your life. All of them remind me of a piece of the Caribbean sea. So beautiful.
