Larimar
is an extremely rare stone and, like Moldavite, is only found in one location
on earth, in Larimar's case, the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean.
Discovered in the seventies after the inhabitants of a small fishing village
decided to find their way to the origin of the secret blue stone which
they occasionally found in the river-bed. After a journey upstream they
came upon a rock formation which seemd to be the source.
The name 'Larimar' was given by a Dominican man who named the stone after
his daughter LARIssa and the spanish word for sea: MAR. The stone is often
called the Atlantis stone because the Dominican Republic is said to be
part of the lost continent of Atlantis according to Edgar Cayce, the famous
sleeping prophet who mentioned a blue precious stone that matches Larimar.
It has the characteristics of a pectolite with a hardness of 5 to 8 (Mohs
scale) this is completely new given its stucture.
It seems to
be no coincidence that Larimar appears at a time when the world appears
to be undergoing a rapid transformation and it has become a huge favourite
with healers and lightworkers. Here are some of the properties metaphysical
commentators have ascribed to it:
"Larimar
is a stone that emits the peaceful radiation of the Deva of the Blue Ray.
Like Sugilite and Moldavite it serves a unique purpose to mankind at this
time. Possessing both the essence of water and air, representing emotions
and thoughts, Larimar has a special relationship with both the emotions
of the heart and the thoughts of the spirit. It creates a connection of
peace that will unite the spirt and the heart with the Blue Ray of Calm,
helping to calm anger, frustration and greed it is said to be unexcelled
in it's capacity to cool down the hot fires of anger in the solar plexus.
Used on the solar plexus, the liver and the gastric region in meditation
or in crystal healings, it accomplishes miracles in changing the raging
rivers of anger into blue lagoons of innerpeace.
Said to be a good stone for acupuncturists to balance the vital energy
in the meridians of the body, but also used by laymen to create balanced
energy flows between their chakras.
Besides
white cloudlike patterns, Larimar sometimes shows red or green dendrite
patterns on a background of soft blue. These stones are particularly helpful
for friendly and non-assertive people who run the risk of being pushed
around. The red-green Larimar will build up protective forces for people
who have to learn to say 'no, you are not allowed to abuse me'. The ability
to say no will enlarge the personal strength and help these peace lovers
to retain their kindness while they are bringing their oversensitive nature
in blance with assertive activity.
Larimar
can be used by talented individuals to stimulate their creativity, activate
their fantasy and inspire their spirit.
A powerful
healing stone that can be used for meditation. It can be a peaceful friend
for teenagers, who often tend to become depressed and discouraged while
they try to establish an identity in this world. This peace stone shines
spiritual powers to the higher chakras in the head, that is why it can
be used to create hopeful new thoughts.
The scenes
inside Larimar often conjure up the combined elements of sea and air.
Beautiful soft blue landscapes and the movement of the ocean with soft
clouds in a blue sky, these natural colours make it an obvious choice
for the throat chakra and it can be placed there to express new ideas
as well as soften the negative influence of thoat infections and throat
pain.
As you
can, see Larimar is multi-functional and can be used in different ways
for different people in different situations. The touch of an angel inside
Larimar is unconditional love and acceptance of everybody. Anyone choosing
Larimar will benefit from it's peace powers and strengths. Use this stone
to awaken heavenly peace inside yourself or combined in a crystal healing
with someone else to calm you down. Call for the Deva of the Blue Ray
and bring her energy into your life. Know that if you identify yourself
with this angel you will become part of her and receive her innerpeace
and blessings in this everchanging world."
