Return to Gemstone Spheres
Larimar comes from the province of Barahona in the Western Region of the Dominican Republic and it is as exotic as it gets. It is blue pectolite found in basalt pockets (vugs) along with a variety of other minerals. It is rare, only found in the Dominican Republic, and mined in small quantities.
Dale made this wonderful larimar sphere from an almost round and solid nodule i.e. one full basalt pocket filled with larimar (possibly pure larimar inside).
Pure larimar is a beautiful stone and Dale has made a few spheres from this exotic material. This sphere, however, is larimar and other minerals (including copper) mixed with basalt matrix and with each other in some outstanding patterns. Iron oxide gives the red, orange, and pink colors. I have spent a lot of time admiring this ball under a magnifying glass. As they say, the devil is in the detail.
The quality of the material, the workmanship, and the polish of this sphere are all outstanding.
There are many photos of the sphere following this description to see how interesting this material is.
This Larimar sphere, is gorgeous, rare, and an outstanding collector’s item.
The approximate weight of the sphere is 11 oz (260g) , and it measures about 2.2″ in diameter (56 mm).
