Abstract
Larimar, whose colour is varying from white light-blue, green-blue to deep blue, is only found in the Sierra de Bohoruco mountain range, Barahona Province, the Dominican Republic. It was discovered by a Spanish priest, Miguel Fuertes Lorén, in 1916 (Fuertes Marcuello & Garcia Guinea 1990).
