There’s a mineral found only in the Dominican Republic that looks like it was created specifically by Mother Earth as a celebration of the island’s beauty. Dominicans are rightfully proud of their rock, with its gorgeous turquoise color and wave-like patterns that seem to magically encapsulate the way sunlight looks as it dances across the waves of the warm Caribbean Sea. Even its name fittingly ends in “mar,” after the Spanish word for sea. If you’re ever looking for a rock to connect you to the tranquility of a tropical sea and the warm, laidback vibes of the Dominican people, you’re not going to do better than larimar. If it’s coming up for you now, it’s because you could sure use some of those warm, tranquil vibes yourself. Whether you have a vacation planned or not, find a way to give yourself a soothing and relaxing break. You need it!
