Metaphysical Properties: Larimar is revered as a stone of peace, serenity, and the healing power of the ocean. It is believed to cool overheated emotions — anger, fear, stress — replacing them with a calm, expansive clarity reminiscent of gazing across open water. Practitioners associate it strongly with the Throat chakra, facilitating the clear, heartfelt expression of one's deepest truth. Larimar also has a strong feminine energy, connected to the divine feminine, water element, and the healing of relationships and emotional wounds. Some traditions associate it with the legendary civilization of Atlantis, linking it to ancient healing wisdom and the Akashic records.
