Larimar
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. Formed by underwater volcanoes, larimar’s gorgeous turquoise color with wave-like white patterning magically encapsulates the way sunlight looks as it dances across the waves of the warm Caribbean Sea. Dominicans are rightfully proud of their rock, with its name fittingly ending in “mar,” after the Spanish word for sea. Humans have always known that the beach is an ideal place for relaxing, and the Caribbean has been a vacation destination for longer than anyone reading this has been alive. If you’re craving the tranquility of a tropical sea as well as the warm, laidback vibes of the Dominican people, you’re not going to do better than larimar. And if it’s coming up for you now, it’s probably to let you know that you’re in need of some of those warm, tranquil vibes yourself, whether you have a vacation planned or not. You don’t have to go there in person, but do find a way to give yourself a relaxing break.
