 Even
the most experienced miner can be deceived by the
external appearance and lose a lot of work and
effort while the buyer of the unsuitable raw material
is in danger of losing all of his invested money.
Once cut into pieces, the original fragments of
Larimar are transformed into true jewels.
After a first selection, they are classified according
to size, color, forms and other characteristics.
The process continues with the polishing through
which the fragments acquire a shine that increases
their natural beauty.
One of the most important steps is the cutting
or subdividing of the original fragments.
The cut does not only depend on the size fragment
as such, but basically on the selection of the forms
and designs that the mineral itself reveals in its
natural form, and -of course- on the creativity
of the experienced craftsman.
Transformation into a Jewel
The last and more difficult part of the process
of transformimg the stone into a final jewel is
the assembly. Before mounting the piece, the goldsmith
has to devise the support that corresponds to each
one of the future jewels.
Nevertheless, it is the mineral itself that, in
multiple occasions, inspires the artist; it is the
real spark that puts his creativity into action.
Once the support has been conceived, the larimar
is being mounted and the transformation has been
accomplished. The most common supports are made
of gold and silver.
Extraordinary pieces of art are also created combining
the Larimar with other materials like amber and
a long list of others, as extense as the creativity
and experience of the goldsmith artist.

Larimar

Amber
is a hardened tree resin, consisting
of compounds of terpenes, alcohols, and esters.
Trees produced it as protection against disease
and insect infestation when the bark of a tree
was opened due to limb that broke away or attacks
by wood-boring beetles, or for other reasons.
After oozing out, it hardened in wet sediments,
such as clay and sand that formed at the bottom
of lagoons or river deltas and was preserved
in the earth's crust for millenniums.
