Healing Stone Larimar

Larimar, the blue gemstone of Caribbean waters, is known as a calming stone that eases stress and anxiety. The beauty of the crystal is captivating- its whorls of blue and white hues transport you to a tropical ocean. The healing properties of larimar are as soothing as its color and bring happiness and tranquility to your life.

In the past, the beautiful blue gem lay undiscovered in the heart of a volcano. An earthquake caused the stone to be dislodged and tumble down into the local river. The resulting gemstones were named larimar because of the Spanish word for the sea. Larimar is one of the only stones that can be mined in its natural form. Miners use water to wash away the grit and silica that clings to the crystals, which are then cut into large blocks for sale as jewelry and other decorative objects. Larimar is also found as smaller, tumbled crystals that are suitable for meditating and crystal healing.

The power of the blue healing stone larimar is said to awaken both men and women to the Divine Feminine within. It is a wonderful gemstone for balancing emotions and promoting love and compassion. It helps balance the masculine and feminine energies, and is said to open the third eye and enhance receptive intuition. It is also believed to help release unhealthy inner bonds to people or principles that no longer serve you. This process can help you move forward along the spiritual ‘divine stair of ascension,’ and allow your soul to ascend into higher vibrations.

Physically, larimar is said to help heal throat and cartilage conditions, soothe the chest, head, and neck, and alleviate arthritic pain in these areas. It is also believed to be a great help during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and aids in overcoming postpartum depression. This calming gemstone can also help relieve high blood pressure and reduce emotional extremes such as bipolar disorder. It is also used as a stone to aid in healing the effects of stress, which can cause health problems like hypertension, insomnia, and some skin conditions.

Many healers believe that this beautiful blue stone has a special frequency that may assist in balancing and harmonizing the aura, which can then improve physical health as well as emotional wellbeing. It is a gentle but powerful stone that encourages spiritual growth and personal change, helping you to get in touch with your innate wisdom and creativity.

To keep your healing stone larimar in top condition, regularly cleanse it by putting it in a bowl of salt or soil. The crystal is then left to rest for at least 24 hours, and should be rinsed before using again. It is also a good idea to place the crystal in moonlight for a few hours to recharge it. Another cleansing method is to use sage or palo santo wood. Alternatively, you can place your crystal in direct sunlight for an hour to cleanse it.
