IFDesigns Larimar Necklace Description This necklace features a gorgeous AAA+++++ GENUINE NATURAL larimar pendant (1" x 1") in breathtaking intense ocean blue colors with striking white cloudy patterns, which is one of the most exotic properties of larimar...this EXOTIC BREATHTAKING JEWEL OF NATURE was completely hand cut, polished and drilled with the highest pricision... it has very nice thickness too... surrounding the pendant is a fine 14kt gold filled double rope chain. Larimar was formed millions of years ago by volcanic activities and occurs now in just one square kilometer of a remote mountain range in the Dominican Republic. This natural and untreated stone is twenty times rarer than Tanzanite, making it one of the rarest gemstones in the world. Exact quantities of this stone is unknown, but many are saying that the mines are exhausting… Larimar is mined today by simplest of methods. This conventional mining is mostly open pit, with the miners using only picks, shovels and hammers to break into the weathered basalt in search of the gem. There are many days when the miners return empty handed and the intense tropical weather of the region does little to help. Once extracted, the stone will be determined if it is of jewelry quality. Only 8-10% of the rough stone is usable for jewelry. At Designs by Isabel Feng, we purchase ONLY AA and AAA grades to ensure that you get the best quality pieces. Closure 14kt gold filled clasp with 2" 14kt gold filled extension chain Length adjustable from 17 1/2" to 19 1/2" (can be resized upon request) Please click here to view my other auction items.
