Larimar is also known as the Dolphin Stone or Atlantis Stone. Originally discovered in 1916, it was named by the Dominican who re-discovered it in 1974, taking the first letters of his daughter's name, Larissa, and the Spanish word for the sea, mar, to create Larimar. It forms in cavities within lava created by volcanic eruptions, and its shape is formed of unique needle-like crystals. 

Larimar is said to help us to view events from a different perspective; it softens, enlightens and heals in a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual way. Larimar cools tempers and calms fears, relieves stress and nurtures the physical and emotional bodies. It can promote relaxation and calm. It is a popular choice for a “worry stone”.
