Blue Stone, Dolphin Stone, and even Atlantis Stone. Over the years, Larimar has been called in many different ways, expanding the mysterious and fascinating aura around it. But what is the true origin of this gemstone? And does it have healing properties? Let’s find out.
The history of Larimar
Originally discovered in 1916, the name “Larimar” was given to this gemstone only in 1974, when it was rediscovered by Miguel Mendez and Norman Rilling, a Peace Corps Volunteer from the USA, in the Dominican Republic. In fact, the world “Larimar” is the combination of Mendez’s daughter’s name (Larissa) and “Mar” (sea).
But as we already mentioned, Larimar has been given a lot of names in the past. “Dolphin Stone”, for instance, is one of the most popular ones. According to some, Larimar can facilitate communication with the sea creature and particularly dolphins, that in popular beliefs have often been connected to Atlantis.
Not surprisingly, another popular name of Larimar is “Atlantis Stone”, and its origin is perhaps the most fascinating one. During his life, the American clairvoyant Edgar Cayce predicted that someone would discover a blue-colored stone on a Caribbean island that was part of Atlantis. And as we already know, Cayce’s prediction turned out to be accurate.
