Ride the Waves of Calm and Speak Your Soul's Truth with Larimar
Tracy Anderson
Imagine the tranquil depths of the Caribbean Sea meeting the boundless expanse of a clear sky. That's the essence of Larimar, a rare and beautiful stone that invites us to ride the waves of calm and find clarity in our communication.
The Ocean's Gem: Unveiling Larimar's Unique Story
Larimar, often called the "Atlantis Stone" or "Dolphin Stone," is a truly unique gem. Its soothing blue-green hues evoke the calming presence of the ocean, a reflection of its sole origin.
- Larimar is a rare blue variety of the mineral Pectolite. It's a hydrous sodium calcium silicate, and its distinctive blue color comes from copper inclusions.
- It's found only in one square kilometer area in the remote mountains of the Dominican Republic, in the Caribbean.
- It forms within volcanic rock cavities, and its unique fibrous crystallization gives it a silky luster and varying patterns of blue, white, and sometimes green.
- Larimar has a hardness of 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale, meaning it's relatively soft and requires careful handling.
- Larimar is deeply connected to the element of water, promoting fluidity, emotional balance, and a sense of serenity.
- It's a powerful stone for the throat chakra, enhancing clear communication, truth, and self-expression.
- It aids in calming fears, reducing stress, and bringing a peaceful energy to the emotional body.
- According to "The Book of Stones" by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian, Larimar "assists in releasing judgment and ego" and helps one to "speak from the heart."
Larimar's Soothing Embrace
When I hold or wear Larimar, I feel an immediate sense of spaciousness and tranquility, like breathing in fresh ocean air. It’s as if the gentle ebb and flow of the sea washes over me, dissolving tension. I see clear, calm waters and bright, open skies. It whispers of freedom in expression, encouraging me to speak my deepest truths with grace, and reminding me that peace truly comes from accepting what is.
Integrating Larimar's Soothing Energy
- Calm Communication: Wear Larimar as a necklace or carry it with you when you need to express yourself clearly and calmly, especially during stressful conversations.
- Stress Relief & Emotional Healing: Place Larimar on your heart or throat during meditation to soothe anxiety, release emotional blockages, and invite a sense of peace.
- Dream Work & Intuition: Place it by your bedside to encourage peaceful sleep, vivid dreams, and enhanced intuitive messages.
- Connecting to the Divine Feminine: Meditate with Larimar to connect with nurturing, fluid, and intuitive feminine energies within yourself.
- Artisan Wrapped Jewelry: Wearing it allows you to carry its soothing energy. Remember, a piece of artisan-wrapped jewelry doesn't just have to be worn; it can be held during journaling & reflection, Meditation & visualization, or placed on your altar to bring its powerful energy into your life. My copper-coated wire amplifies the stone's energy, offering an even deeper connection.
Harmonizing the Waters of Serenity
- Larimar and Aquamarine: This pairing deeply enhances emotional healing, clear communication, and promotes profound inner peace, like merging two serene oceans.
- Larimar and Selenite: Together, they create a powerful cleansing and uplifting synergy, helping to purify energy fields and invite higher vibrations.
- Larimar and Pink Tourmaline: This combination fosters self-love, emotional balance, and encourages speaking your heart's desires with compassion and courage.
Preserving Its Oceanic Glow
- Gentle Cleansing is a Must: Due to its softness, Larimar is sensitive. Cleanse it gently with methods like moonlight, sound healing, or smudging with sage.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Prolonged Sun Exposure: Chemical cleaners can damage its delicate surface, and prolonged direct sunlight can cause its beautiful blue color to fade over time.
- Energetic Recharge: Recharge its energy by placing it on a Selenite plate or allowing it to bask in indirect moonlight.
- Be mindful of copper coatings: My Artisan Wrapped pieces are crafted with copper-coated wire, in order to amplify the stone's energy, (though custom orders for Argentium Silver are available). To preserve the integrity of your piece, avoid substances that may remove the coating or accelerate oxidation.
Finding Her Voice in the Storm
I had a client who often felt overwhelmed by life's demands, leading to anxiety and difficulty expressing her true feelings, especially when she felt challenged. She carried a lot of unspoken burdens. We started working with Larimar, and I encouraged her to simply hold it and breathe deeply whenever she felt that familiar surge of overwhelm or the urge to retreat. Over time, she noticed a remarkable shift. She began to speak up for herself with a newfound calm, articulating her needs without the usual emotional upheaval. She told me, "It's like Larimar reminded me I could be strong and gentle at the same time. I found my voice, and it was calmer than I ever thought possible." This stone didn't just help her communicate; it helped her find an inner harbor of peace.
From Turbulent Waters to Clear Skies
Larimar offers a profound transformation, guiding you from turbulent emotional waters to clear, calm skies. It empowers you to release fear, embrace your authentic voice, and navigate life's challenges with serenity and confidence. It's about finding that deep well of peace within you, no matter what waves life throws your way.
