"Larimar: The Ocean's Healing Gem"

Introduction:

Swinging on the brink of darkness, imagine finding the gateway to unleash the radiance within your galaxy of thoughts. In this world of Larimar, we explore a gemstone that embodies stability, depth, wisdom, faith, and trust. Larimar, often called the "Dolphin Stone," offers a unique story and a remarkable array of qualities that make it a gem worth knowing.

"The Origin and Rarity of Larimar"

Sunlight in the Caribbean Sea dances as dynamically as the stone itself, a rare blue variety of Pectolite known as Larimar or "Stefilia's Stone." Discovered in the Dominican Republic, Larimar exhibits various shades, ranging from white and light blue to deep blue, making it one of the most sought-after blue gemstones.

"The Elemental Essence of Larimar"

Larimar embodies the harmony of the sea and the sky, making it a gem element of cardinal water. This stone enhances comfort, widens meditation, and strengthens mystical connections, particularly with the feminine. As a Throat Chakra stone, Larimar aids in communication, and it can be found not only on the islands of Hispaniola but also in other parts of the world, including Canada and the USA.

"Larimar's Aesthetic Appeal"

Larimar's beauty is reminiscent of veins in the skin, featuring a divine combination of blue hues with white veins running throughout. The stone's name originates from Larissa, the daughter of its founder, Miguel Mendez, and "Mar," meaning sea in the local language. This unique connection to its name is a testament to its exquisite appearance.

"Larimar's Healing Properties"

Larimar, a member of the Pectolite mineral family, carries the positive energy of the sky and aids in regulating the Throat Chakra. It is widely used by singers to protect and enhance their voices. Formed within lava cavities due to volcanic eruptions, Larimar promotes calmness and relaxation, making it an ideal companion for those dealing with anxiety.

"Balancing the Chakras with Larimar"

Larimar's unique ability to balance all the Chakras, with a particular focus on the Throat Chakra, fosters compassion. It helps transform fear into peace and prevents over-passion from disturbing your inner harmony. With its silky luster and varying shades, Larimar offers a wide range of choices to cater to individual preferences.

"Healing with Larimar: A Spiritual Connection"

Larimar plays a pivotal role in healing heart diseases, balancing the Throat Chakra, and assisting in the treatment of bipolar disorders. It channels your self-spirit and helps you navigate through challenging emotions. Its connection to the Caribbean waters, born of fire and volcanic eruptions, touches the angelic realm, healing women by restoring their natural connection.

"Caring for Larimar"

To maintain the pristine beauty of Larimar, it's essential to clean it once a week with clean water and mild soap. This gemstone thrives on its essence of water and its blissful blue hue, which may deepen over time due to the absorption of its elemental essence.

Conclusion:

Larimar, the ocean's healing gem, is more than just a rare blue stone; it's a source of comfort, balance, and connection. From its origin in the Caribbean to its mystical properties and healing abilities, Larimar has a story worth knowing. So, next time you seek peace and clarity, consider the soothing embrace of Larimar, the gem that dances beneath the waters of your soul.

introducing LARIMAR!!

Larimar is a joint effort between myself and @helmofhades , he’s an orowyrm unique to his tenno’s own personal duviri - his spiral is that of Desire. born from Rigel’s fleeting memories of a lover now lost, Larimar is basically an incomplete and imperfect manifestation of the bits and pieces of another life that slip through the cracks in the wall and find their way into drifter-Rigel’s dreams. Larimar looks big and scary, but he’s really a big softie - he has eyes only for Rigel, and all he wants is to see his darling happy again. When under his influence, Duviri is calm and peaceful, and he and his beloved are free to spend the cycle together, enjoying the quiet while it lasts.

things only start to go awry once he learns that he’s basically a cheap knockoff of Rigel’s “real” partner on the other side of the wall. wouldn’t you start to go insane if you realized you were never meant to be anything more than someone else’s replacement? wouldn’t you be desperate to win back the affection of the only person you’ve ever loved? wouldn’t you start to become frightened that the only reason you love him at all is because it’s what you were made for??

[ice-block]

I don’t care about Steven universe discourse what I care about is the lack of thought put into the rock characters. I wouldn’t have made the four leaders all different colors of diamond, there are literally only 4 precious gems that’s the right amount why didn’t you make the precious gems the 4 diamonds?? (The 4 precious gems are diamond, sapphire, ruby, and emerald)

"Don't look away." Calmly moving lips mouthed the words, their sound tucked between the roaring flames, but with no syllable able to be mistaken. Not for any Corrupted of his. Beside Larimar, the Fell Heir's sights pointed forward as they always did, never once looking back, looking not even at her.

Inferno razed the fields and crumbling hovels, eating away until only their skeletons remained. The abominable Corrupted swarms converged upon the village's last survivors, silencing their screams and renewing their corpses. Life in all its entirety snuffed as far as the eye could see and still not enough.

Because none of it would be enough until all the world looked like this, too.

"I expect you to absorb every inch of this sight," Nil—no, Rafal—said only, and finally his gaze flicked to Larimar. Piercing and gauging alike, watchful for dissent. For lasting signs of humanity in one who had once been just as human as the freshly dead. "Whatever meaningless attachments you retain to your old life, discard them now. This is the goal for you Corrupted. Nothing as useless as regret or hesitation will help you achieve it."

She didn't question it when he asked the name of her home village. It was given freely. Larimar hadn't belonged there in a long time. Seeing it in flames, now, she wonders what's worse; that she thinks she should feel something, or that she doesn't at all.

The order is unnecessary, but it's the very sound of his voice that tempts her to turn away. She wants to look at him. She doesn't risk breaking the order to do so.

It's all so much...louder than what she's used to. Her kills are always silent, efficient things. The cacophony that they watch is what happens when she has done her job wrong, when she has failed. There would have never been any of these grandiose pyres or screaming voices as the last of the villagers were overwhelmed.

'I work better alone', had been the answer she'd given him when, freshly alive again after bleeding out, he'd questioned her about who she was and what she could do. 'Those brainless idiots would slow me down'. She still thinks as much, watching a Corrupted cleave heavy axe through someone's foolish final stand.

Being forced to stand here and watch feels like a punishment. She'd be done by now, if he let her. She can't even see the house she was born in from here.

She can feel his eyes on her. Is it more or less disrespectful to look? "I understand, Lord Rafal." Another scream cuts short. None of them are familiar. Has it already happened? Or is it just another thing to wonder forever?

Another scream. She looks from the flames to him. He's just as much a part of this sight as everything else. He looks beautiful with embers flying behind him. "Whatever you want, consider it done."

Color Wheel Challenge: Light Blue | Full Wheel

[eldritchships]

DUE TO OUR VASTLY DIFFERENT TIME ZONES i never rly get to check out what youve posted but i see youve named ur katanagatari s/i!!! tellbme abt the kamakiri ship this is ur opportunity to gush !! this offer does not expire also so only gush when you wanna BUT

Thank you! And no worries, I also curse that we live on other sides of the planet. Also thank you for the gush pass, I think I went a little overboard with it 😅

I did name my s/i, his name is Larimar, aka The Preening Merchant! He uses he/him, but refers to himself using the royal ‘we’.

As you can probably guess, Larimar is a merchant, selling a wide variety of supplies for whatever purpose you may need. He acts as if he’s very important, which often comes across to others as being arrogant. He’s ‘from a faraway land’ (white), and his animal theme is a peacock.

His store is actually where he and Kamakiri met! Larimar does sell to the Maniwa Corps, and Kamakiri came in one day to buy and the two of them had a polite conversation. These interactions continued over time as they bumped into each other, and chatting turned into becoming pen pals. Sending letters worked great because it meant they could talk more than once in a blue moon, and it’s when an infatuation started to develop. I think Larimar started crushing first, he really likes Kamakiri’s serious personality, and you can definitely tell he’s into Kami when they’re in the same room together. On the other hand, Larimar is good at his job, he’s friendly, and sometimes the princely demeanor is genuinely charming. It didn’t take long for Kami to reciprocate those feelings.

They continued to write, and from an outside perspective it might have seemed like they were dancing around the obvious subject, but they’re letting things progress however they progress. I doubt Kamakiri has been able to hide his crush from the rest of the Insect Squad though, and there’s been some teasing about it (all meant in good fun, of course. They also hype him up 100% of the way). Jumping ahead a little bit, eventually one of them does breach the topic and makes their feelings clear, and it’s met very positively. I imagine their first kiss happens somewhere tucked away in private, just the two of them. :]

Then Kamakiri leaves for the island, and of course, things go pear-shaped there. Larimar doesn’t get any new letters for a while, and starts to worry. I believe the Maniwa would be kind enough to pass along the news about Kami’s death. Larimar is distraught for a while. I’ll be honest, I don’t have a solid explanation for how Kamakiri comes back - in the back of my head I say that he was resurrected by a wish made by Larimar + all of the love that was stored in their letters. But I feel like that falls apart if you think about it, so I don’t dwell on the why. He gets resurrected somehow. He finds his way back to the mainland, and he and Larimar are able to continue their lives.

That’s all I’ve got in terms of a timeline! I really like their relationship, I’m a big fan of the falling in love via letters/messages trope. Larimar really wants to be seen as important and special, and Kamakiri ends up giving him that, but Kami also shows him that he doesn’t need all the fancy clothes and stature to be liked (not to Kamakiri, at least).

scraps and Reso? (Short for resolute)

sorry if these are kinda bad :(

NO THESE ARE CUTE

Maybe not for the swap guys but the name "Scraps" makes me think of a plushie skeleton who instead of bones uses sewing pins

Reso is also so cool I'm NGL, but I feel its a little too cool for my Swap Paps who needs a lame name to fit his lame nerd ass

[atrollnamedlexi]

So is that what Lari still is or do you have other plans?

Other plans, honestly, I can't tell ya'll cause we'll I'm still working on it and I might change my mind when I'm doing it

[valiant-portabella-pirkko]

"the Commander getting an elixir that allows them to talk to any animals that wish to speak with them is definitely a concept that I will use entirely responsibly" I say as a lying liar who tells lies.

Exploring the Enchanting World of Larimar

Unlocking the Gateway to Inner Radiance

Swinging on the D of darkness, imagine a gateway that leads you to bathe in the rays of enlightenment and nourishes your galaxy of thoughts. Within this realm, the mystical stone Larimar reigns, empowering you with stability, depth, wisdom, faith, and trust. Like a protective armor, Larimar shields you from the influence of negative energies, ensuring your inner dolphin's aura remains vibrant and untouched. So bid farewell to those malevolent spirits and embrace the story of Larimar – for every gem has a tale to tell.

The Captivating Dance of Sunlight in the Caribbean Sea

In the depths of the Caribbean Sea, a captivating dance unfolds as sunlight shimmers upon the waters. Similarly, the stone known as Larimar, or "Lorimar," reveals its mesmerizing beauty. Larimar is a rare blue variety of Pectolite, also referred to as "Stefilia's Stone." Discovered in the Dominican Republic, Larimar exhibits various hues, ranging from white and light-blue to green-blue and deep blue, with a unique blue stripe that distinguishes it.

Larimar - A Manifestation of Serenity and Mystical Femininity

Larimar embodies the gentle essence of the sea and the comforting embrace of the sky, making it a stone element associated with cardinal water. Its presence enhances comfort, expands meditation practices, and deepens connections to the mystical feminine. As a stone of the throat chakra, Larimar promotes soothing communication and empowers individuals to express themselves authentically. While predominantly found on the islands of Hispaniola, Larimar can also be discovered in other parts of the world, including Canada and the USA.

A Divine Aesthetic - Veins of Beauty

Much like veins in the skin, Larimar's enchanting beauty is characterized by its blue tint and delicate white veins, evoking a divine allure. Interestingly, the stone's name is derived from Larissa, the daughter of its founder, Miguel Mendez, who crafted "Lar" from Larissa and "Mar," which means "sea" in the local language. Thus, Larimar symbolizes the essence of Larissa and the sea's captivating charm.

The Exquisite Applications and Quality of Larimar

As a member of the Pectolite mineral family, Larimar emanates positive energy akin to the vastness of the sky. It aids in regulating the throat chakra, fostering emotional expansiveness, and is widely embraced by singers to protect and enhance their voices. Formed within lava cavities resulting from volcanic eruptions, Larimar is extensively utilized for promoting calmness and relaxation. If anxiety plagues you, this serene oceanic stone can help alleviate your worries.

Channeling Energy and Cultivating Vibrancy

In the realm of energy flow, obstructions can occur within our bodies. Larimar acts as a conduit, directing and steering the energy positively from the throat, neck, chest, and head regions. By using Larimar as a worry stone, you can create an environment that encourages vibrancy and positivity in your workplace or home.

Rarity, Pricing, and Choosing the Finest Larimar

With a hardness rating of 4.5-5, Larimar possesses a silky luster. Its rarity renders deep dark volcanic blue Larimar a gem of extraordinary value, while the white variety is considered of lower quality. The finest Larimar stones feature a dark blue, translucent appearance reminiscent of precious gemstones, resembling clouds that touch the atmosphere, both in beauty and price.

Balancing Chakras and Cultivating Compassion

Larimar's grace extends beyond its aesthetic allure. This captivating gemstone is instrumental in balancing all the chakras, with a particular emphasis on the throat chakra. It fosters compassion and helps individuals navigate their journey from the heart to the crown chakras, awakening a profound sense of empathy and understanding.

Finding Peace through Larimar's Healing Properties

Your fears may cloud your path, while your passions propel you forward. However, when passion becomes overwhelming, it can disrupt your inner peace. Larimar, with its serene water-like properties, can calm your fears and transform excessive passion into tranquility. Like water quenching thirst, Larimar heals and stabilizes your heart, relationships, and assists in releasing negative karma back to the earth.

Rediscovering Intrinsic Delicacy and Nature's Connection

In our journey through life, we often become entangled in a web of emotions, pain, and resentment. Larimar helps dissolve toxic emotions and encourages the release of constructive feelings, allowing us to rediscover our intrinsic delicacy. Born of fire and volcanic eruptions, Larimar, as a Caribbean water stone, connects us to the angelic realm of the sea and sky. It heals women, rekindling their connection with nature and nurturing their innate grace.

Group 2 - Earth signs

Predictions | 9 of cups, knight of cups, Hierophant, The Fool, The Moon, 2 of swords

Ooh Earth signs, love is in the air for you. That would be true especially if you are a Taurus sun. Are you planning on asking someone out? Or even proposing to someone? If that is your case, though you may feel anxious about it, I see a positive outcome to this situation. In general, I see a significant progress in romantic relationships for Earth sun signs. If you've been frequently day dreaming about a person, wishing to get closer to them, wondering if you should make a step forward and let your intentions be known, this is your sign to make a move. Career wise, I feel like the energies are overall in your favor. You will be taking a new turn in your career, especially if your passions and dreams are involved. This new phase may be a bit intimidating and confusing, for you are not sure where the path will lead. But your positive outlook on things and your passion and dedication will be your best assets in such a time. Your intuition will be a powerfool tool to help you navigate shallow and uncertain waters in all areas of your life. If you were hesitating on changing something regarding your work, this is your sign to do it confidently. You may often times find yourself caught up in your head and have a hard time translating your thoughts and visions into actions. In such times, a mentor figure could be helping you in seeing things from a new perspective. You can definitely count on your superiors or more experienced people around you, whether they are family members, coworkers or friends. Even strangers could be of help in some type of way. Have faith in your dreams, no matter how crazy they may sound. You have what it takes to get there.

Advice | Ametrine Make your big dreams your big life, Moldavite Transform your life on Earth, Barite Get answers to your biggest questions

Working with these crystals is one way that you can best face the energies of the upcoming months. Wearing earthly colors such as green, reds and browns, yellows and oranges could also boost your energy and help you ground yourself should you feel distracted or all over the place. You are encouraged to embrace your dreams fully and make positive changes in your daily life that can help you get closer to those dreams. To give you a very simple example, I am considering getting back to learning Japanese and Korean. One thing that I could do is studying for a short period of time each day when I am in public transport. Or I could stick post it notes on different objects in my house to help me remember vocabulary. You are also encouraged to consider other options and paths if what you're currently doing doesn't fulfill you. Same goes for relationships. If something in general doesn't feel right, you are called to do something about it. Ametrine will work best whenever you need to respect a deadline or you are feeling undecisive. Moldavite is advised for spiritual seekers or people that feel like their life lacks a touch of magic. It's best used when you feel like you are disconnected from spirit or too deeply rooted in your routine. Barite will work best for those of you that are feeling like where they're at isn't where they're supposed to be and feel called to move toward their destiny. If you struggle with saying no to things that you don't enjoy or resonate with, this crystal will help you with setting boundaries.

Group 3 - Fire signs

Predictions | Wheel of fortune, Hermit rx, 7 of pentacles rx, Ace of cups, King of cups, The Magician

For all of you beautiful fireworks, I feel like there's a major shift in your energy. You are tired of waiting for the tables to turn and for Fortune to be in your favor so you will take the reigns of your life and try your luck by spinning the wheel. That may be true especially for the Leos out there, as the Wheel of fortune is fixed sign energy. If you were previously in a snail like energy, not wanting to get out or mingle with people, not feeling super good about yourself and how your life is going, then this reading is for you. This time around you decide to kick yourself in the butt and have a more proactive energy in all areas of your life. You are done being the patient and snuggly little kitty that waits by the fire place. You now want to be the demanding and authoritative feline that hunts down its prey. You are tired of waiting for others to fill your cup and take care of you. You will now be your own man and number one fan. You are done waiting for your boss to magically notice how good of a business partner you are and grant you a promotion. You will get out of your seat and negotiate your pay because you damn well deserve it. The opportunity you wanted didn't show up? Well, it's about time you actively manifest it. Your desired partner is still MIA? Watch yourself putting yourself out there and being the hottest topic in town. You will let yourself be known and seen during the upcoming months and that is for the best. It is safe to say that fire signs, in the upcoming three months, are likely to get fired up. That can both be beneficial to you as it will give you the drive to reach your goals and express your full potential but it could also be an obstacle as you may rush into things or come off as provocative or aggressive toward others.

Advice | Amber Recharge your good vibes, Aquamarine Keep your cool, Chrysoprase Grow from your heart out

Working with these crystals could be beneficial to you during this period of time. Wearing colors such as soft blues or yellows/oranges could also be helpful. You are advised to temper yourself and surround yourself with things and people that make you feel good and uplift your spirits. I'm specifically picking up on music and your social media feed. You have to be surrounded by content that motivates you and inspires you. Anytime you are faced with a decision, make sure your choice is coming from your heart. Amber will be useful to boost your energy, deepen intimacy and help you be more confident when it is worn by the user. It can also help with cleansing the energy of a room if the crystal is placed in the center of it. Aquamarine is a good crystal for fire signs as it balances out their fiery nature with it's soothing watery vibe. It helps with communication and respiratory issues, also brings a sense of calmness. It is sometime advised to clean Aquamarine by submerging it in water. "If you’re an empath and get worn out by others’ feelings, chrysoprase can ease your mind and help you establish boundaries." This crystal can be linked to the heart chakra and can be used to get out of a phase of isolation and self-deprecation.

Group 4 - Air signs

Predictions | 4 of wands, 9 of pentacles, 2 of wands, knight of wands, King of wands, King of pentacles

The upcoming 3 months may be a period of transition for you. However, this heralds positive outcomes. When it comes to partnerships and love, you will feel safe and succesful in your union. You might want to explore new territories with your partner. Career wise, your efforts are paying off. I see you securing your position and being in a comfortable financial situation that allows you to explore other options and new projects. If you were considering taking on a new responsibility, finding a new home, taking things to the next level with your partner, you are encouraged to do so as you have all the tools and means at hand to be succesful in that endeavor. You may feel inspired and bold during this time. You will be confident about your ideas, your skills, your projects. You will look at the future with a peaceful heart because you believe in yourself and trust in your ability to turn dust into gold. Your innovative mind and open spirit will be your best assets, especially if you're in a position of authority. These three months will urge you to take a leadership position, whether it is in your personal or professional life. For those of you who are single, you may find yourself being attracted to a very independant and hardworking person, someone that is stable and succesful. This person will be very clear on their intentions and match your level. This is someone that is on the same wavelength as you when it comes to ideals and life projects, they could be in the same field of work or hold a position similar to yours. They could be a balanced mix of earth and fire energy. Overall the next three months look very promissing for you in all areas of your life.

Advice | Clear quartz, Tiger's eye, Celestite

Tiger's eye is often advised for spiritual protection as well as boosting one's self confidence. If you are feeling like you are being spiritually attacked or envious eyes are trying to set you off balance, you can definitely wear that stone as a piece of jewelry or place it in your space, at home or at work. Clear quartz brings clarity and cleansing. Whenever you feel like things are getting too much or you no longer see the bigger picture, you can meditate using that stone. As for Celestite, it can be used to enhance your psychic abilities, to ease your anxiety or clear any blockages regarding communication. If you ever feel like you can't express your truth properly, then definitely work with that stone. You can also wear colors that are close to that of these stones. So white, blues or shades of brown/orange.
