Whether on the fringer of the Parque Colo n,

Whether on the fringer of the Parque Colo n, on the ElConde or in the Modelomarket, the souvenir shops of Santo Domingo offer a very similar range of products. The same is true of cities on the tourist trail such as Puerto Plata and La Romana. On the shelves, you will, of course, find cigars which some say are better than the famous Havanas, as well as coffee, rum, compact discs of merengue and bachata music, a wide range of handicrafts (mostly from Haiti )and amber. You will also comeacross larimar, a semiprecious turquoise blue stone found only in the Dominican Republic. Its name is a hybrid of Larissa, a girl’s name and mar, which means “sea” in Spanish. Those without a mule or robust motorbike will greatly appreciate an off-road vehicle as they climb the narrow rocky path to the Los Checheses larimar mine. You reach it by leaving the Barahona to Pedernales road, on the Haitian border, on the coast a few kilometres after Bahoruco. The trip takes perhaps an hour, giving you time to discuss the rugged geography or the extremely harsh living conditions of the Haitians in the bateyes that you pass on the way. You might also ponder how the larimar stones, discovered buried in the sand by a man called Miguel Fuentes, actually got there. No four-wheel drive was involved in their journey. In fact, they were swept down the Filipinas valley by river or stream only to be thrown back by the sea. As a result, people naturally assumed they had comefrom the sea, which explains part of the name they were given bythe first craftsman to work with them. (Larissa, his daughter, was the inspiration for the other part).

In mid-January, 2006, Brad Pitt bought Angelina Jolie

In mid-January, 2006, Brad Pitt bought Angelina Jolie a larimar ring. Here’s what MSN.com had to say about it: Together, they’re worth tens of millions of dollars, but when it came time for Brad Pitt to slip a ring on Angelina Jolie’s finger, he went the bargain route. In a new cover story that delves deep “inside their love” (eww), People reveals that during a recent shopping trip in the Dominican Republic, the rapidly swelling Angelina admired a gold band made with larimar, a local blue volcanic gemstone. “[Pitt] said, ‘It’s very pretty — do you want it?’” the shopkeeper recalls to the magazine. When Angelina, 30, answered in the affirmative, Brad, 42, coughed up a whopping $48 and she popped it on her finger. OK, so it’s not exactly a knuckle-buckling diamond engagement ring, but with a baby on the way (due date estimates range from the spring to the summer) and a judge’s official thumbs-up to rechristen Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 1, with the surname Jolie-Pitt (Brad’s adoption bid is still winding its way through court), an aisle-walk seems almost inevitable. “He’s the kind of guy who wants marriage,” a Pitt insider tells the mag. “And it’s a great match.” Jolie, meanwhile, is said to be feeling the effects of her delicate condition. She was reportedly dealing with nausea and an all-around feeling of ickiness while shooting “The Good Shepherd” in hot and humid Santo Domingo early last week. “She was willing to do her job, and she was a complete professional, but you could tell that she was pushing through,” a set insider tells the magazine. Star, however, believes Angelina is in the middle of a health crisis, proclaiming on its latest cover, “Pregnant Angelina Collapses! Doctors Put Her on High Alert!” According to a mole, Jolie “collapsed and gashed her head” while in the Dominican Republic. “Brad’s worried sick about her,” alleges the source. “She’s looking really frail and she’s pale and gaunt. I heard her doctor has put her on a high-risk pregnancy alert and Brad has been trying to persuade her to go on bed rest, but she won’t hear any of it.” Of course, an eyewitness who saw Angelina during her visit to Haiti late last week tells a different story, enthusing to People, “She looked so happy to be pregnant.” As for Jennifer Aniston, she apparently did get plenty of advanced warning about the baby announcement, just not from Brad. Us Weekly says one of his family members delivered the bombshell. “It didn’t matter to her that Brad didn’t tell her,” an Aniston chum insists to the magazine. Adds another confidante to People, “Jennifer is fine, she’s not upset at all. She has moved on from this a long time ago.” Still not convinced that she’s doing just ducky? “She feels great and things look bright for her,” yet another source tells Us. The actress, who hits Sundance Thursday night for the premiere of “Friends with Money,” remains hot and heavy with Vince Vaughn, who has reportedly been shacking up with her at her two-bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills for several weeks.

larimar or blue pectolite is an extremely rare

larimar or blue pectolite is an extremely rare gemstone. It has been found only in one location: a mountainous, relatively inaccessible area in the province of Barahona in the Dominican Republic. The first mention of the stone is in a request to mine larimar in 1916, however it wasn’t until 1974 that the stone really made an appearance. In 1974, Norman Rilling, a member of the U.S. Peace Corps, and Miguel M ndez, a Dominican found pieces of larimar on the seashore. The word larimar was created by Mendez, who combined his daughter’s name Larissa with the Spanish world for sea, Mar. Before Mendez and Rilling, local inhabitants of the region and their ancestors had long been aware of the stone. Early theories suggested larimar was produced by the Sea, later by the earth’s volcanic movements. Island legends said that the stones could be collected easily on the beach, but one day there were no more blue larimar stones left. Locals explored upstream and found a rock formation, which appeared to be the source of the blue stone. This legend holds truth; Mendez and Rilling in 1974 would follow a river upstream and find sources of the blue stone. Most small blocks of larimar are in situ, meaning they exist in the very place where they formed. However through soil erosion some pieces broke off and were moved by rainfall down the slopes of the hillsides to rivers. The river deposited them in the Caribbean Sea, some pieces washed up on the seashore by waves. The stone is formed when hot gases push crystallized minerals up though volcanic ‘tubes’. In order to mine and excavate the stone miners must identify these tubes and dig deeper and deeper into old volcanoes. larimar is used most often to make jewelry but has also been used to make beads, decorative objects and even handles on cabinets. larimar is considered a healing stone, and said to be finely tuned to the human body particularly to the throat area. It is said that it increases speech and communication skills and supports the body’s natural healing process. Persons believing in this have been known to wear larimar jewelry or to put pieces of larimar in their pockets or under their pillows. larimar is also called the Atlantis Stone, because a Spiritual master who lived in Trinidad and Tobago and who founded many Yoga Centers across the world, claimed that some islands in the Caribbean including the Dominican Republic were part of the lost continent of Atlantis. He went further to say that on one of those islands a blue stone with healing powers would be found - a description that corresponds to larimar. Today, there are thousands of people, naturalists and persons practicing alternative and holistic healing methods, who use larimar to assist and reinforce healing processes. larimar’s beautiful blue color is often considered to embody the beautiful blue colors of the sea and sky found in the Caribbean. Its origin and appearance have made it popularly known as the Caribbean Gem.
