Larimar Gemstone + Sterling Silver + Clip On Charm Pendant 

A beautiful pale blue Larimar gemstone is set in my hand fabricated old fashioned skeleton key design! Each of my 'KEYS' is totally unique and one-of-a-kind - none are identical! 

What is Larimar?

 Larimar is a type of pectolite or a rock composed largely of pectolite, an acid silicate hydrate of calcium and sodium. Pectolite is found in many locations, but larimar has a unique volcanic blue coloration, which is the result of copper substitution for calcium.

Miocene volcanic rocks, andesites and basalts, erupted within the limestones of the south coast of the Dominican Republic. These rocks contained cavities or vugs which were later filled with a variety of minerals, including the blue pectolite. These pectolite cavity fillings are a secondary occurrence within the volcanic flows, dikes, and plugs. When these rocks erode, the pectolite fillings are carried down the slope to end up in the alluvium and the beach gravels. The Bahoruco River carried the pectolite-bearing sediments to the sea. The tumbling action along the streambed provided the natural polishing to the blue larimar, which makes them stand out in contrast to the dark gravels of the streambed.

This charm comes with a sterling silver (made in Italy) lobster clasp!

Clip to your favorite charm necklace, necklace chain, bag, bracelet, etc! The possibilities are endless. 

Choose one of these: Stainless steel bead chain OR stainless steel box chain if needed! 

Size: approximately 2 inches long.  Please refer to photos of piece next to ruler and quarter for size reference. 

Clasp is 12 mm x 6mm so a nice sturdy size but not too big!
