The history of Larimar is based on many
legends and stories. Although Larimar is commercially a relatively new
gemstone, Dominican ancestors have long-prized the Caribbean gem. Stories of
its first discovery claim that it was found by Father Miguel Domingo Fuertes
Loren in 1916 in the Dominican Republic, but then later forgotten about - up
until its more recent 'rediscovery' in 1974 by Miguel Méndez, a local
Dominican, and Norman Rilling, a visiting US Peace Corps volunteer. Together,
they named the stone after Méndez's daughter 'Larissa' by combining the first
letters of her name 'Lari' with 'mar', the Spanish word for 'sea'. Today, blue
Larimar is very popular throughout the Caribbean, but it is extremely rare to
find it anywhere else.
