Rated by Marnie deJour on 03/23/06 The larimar is very pretty, but is much cheaper at the store in San Juan airport. Everything here comes from the Dominican Republic where larimar is the national stone and where the country is one of the foremost in the world for amber. It is also one of the few places in the world where black coral is legal. They have nice staff here.
Rated by Mary Goodman, Winterport, Maine on 02/01/06 So glad I found you! I love my Larimar ring and necklace. The color blue is so pretty. You displays are very nicely done and enticing. Both ladies that helped me were so helpful. Thanks
