Who knows why nature chooses to hide its rare wonders in a particular location? For Larimar, the remote, exotic mountain ranges on the Island of Hispaniola contain a single square kilometer of land that is the source of Larimar-the only place on earth one can find this rare stone. (As a point of reference, Tanzanite deposits cover a 20 square mile area.)
More than likely, the area's volcanic heritage played a hand in the gemstone's creation. Larimar's calm, dreamy blues are a gift from one of nature's most violent forces.
MarahLago now mines the stone in southern part of the island. Each stone that is extracted from its limited supply makes every piece of Larimar just a bit more precious.
