Its coloration varies from white, light-blue, green-blue to deep blue. However, very, very highly prized is the Sky Blue variety minedonly in the Dominican Republic. Larimar is a variety of Pectolite, or a rock composed largely of Pectolite, an acid silicate hydrate of calcium and sodium. Although Pectolite is found in many locations, none have the unique volcanic blue coloration of Larimar. This blue color, distinct from that of other Pectolites, is the result of cobalt substitution for calcium. Miocene volcanic rocks, Andesites and Basalts, erupted within the Limestone of the South coast of the island. These rocks contained cavities or vugs which were later filled with a variety of minerals including the blue Pectolite. These Pectolite cavity fillings are a secondary occurrence within the volcanic flows, dikes and plugs. When these rocks erode the Pectolite fillings are carried down-slope to end up in the alluvium and the beach gravels. The Bahoruco River carried the Pectolite bearing sediments to the sea. The tumbling action along the streambed provided the natural polishing to the blue Larimar which makes them stand out in contrast to the dark gravels of the streambed.
