Larimar...




 I'm not a big jewelry person. But I have to say after spending some time here in the Dominican Republic, I've come to appreciate the beauty of larimar. It's only found here the Dominican Republic, which makes one more reason why this place is so special. I've seen it mostly made into fine pieces of jewelry. And no two pieces are the same! The colors vary from white, light blue, blue-green, and a deep blue. If you get lucky enough to take a trip here, check out some of the local markets for some great items to bring home as a gift or a treat for yourself.
