I am Dominican and I saw an English woman wear some Larimar earrings and a pendant, they looked beautiful whit her blue eyes.

I hope it benefits the local people not greedy investors. I hope this doesn't lead to destroying the beautiful coastal region.

It's an underground mine. I'm sure they are going deeper into the earth, not strip mining for it

@@jamesway I would invest in Larimar. I love the stuff. It will all be mined out as it is a limited deposit. Then it will skyrocket in value.. Large crystals are super rare. Thanks Zack, wherever you are! 😂

Exactly, this is not an infinite resource. Mining can't be abused. The Government should stop the indiscriminate uses of Larimar, it should be controlled. If you wanted badly pay the price.

Larimar is just about my favorite stone. I make handmade earrings and I have been making Larimar sets for years now. It's so beautiful and is gorgeous to wear. Thanks for the video.

I like that the daughter realizes this is a finite resource.

I am lucky to have a lot of pieces of Larimar since I was a very young woman. Nevertheless, now is when I really appreciate everything Larimar has to offer Spirituality. ❤️🙏🏼

I finally have my first Larimar crystal, I felt like I was immediately drawn to it's energy and blue color when I first saw it. So I followed intuition and had to buy it.
