Larimar "Waterfall" Earrings

So very pretty!  Light blue square shaped Larimar is crefully wrapped in Sterling Silver in the "Waterfall" pattern and then suspended on Sterling Silver French earwires.

Earrings hang approximately 1 5/8" long and are approximately 1/2" wide.

    From deep in a mine in the Dominican Republic comes one of the earth’s rarest stones. With color ranging from shades of sky and sea blue to green, with veins of white, sometimes with inclusions of other minerals such as hematite.  Larimar is actually a blue form of the mineral Pectolite that was formed by volcanoes many years ago. It is found in "tubes" created by those volcanoes.  Although Pectolite exists elsewhere in the world, it only occurs in the blue form in this one place, the Dominican Republic on the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean.  

   Spiritual healers believe that Larimar affects the throat chakra, opening lines of communication and healing past hurts.   Larimar is also known as  Atlantis Stone, Stefilia's Stone and  Dolphin stone.
