Larimar Link Bracelet

Sterling Silver / Dominican Republic 
Larimar is a rare form of pectolite, which is only found in the Dominican Republic. In 1916 Father Miguel Domingo Fuertes Loren requested permission to mine a certain blue rock he had discovered, but his request was  rejected. In 1974, Miguel Méndez and a Peace Corps volunteer rediscovered  Larimar on a beach. Miguel took his young daughter's name Larissa and the Spanish word for sea (mar) and formed Larimar, by the colors of the water of the Caribbean Sea, where it was found. Sterling silver with lobster clasp. adjustable 7" to 8"
