A well-known symbol throughout the Chesapeake area, this creature is beautifully represented by our Larimar Maryland Crab Earrings.  What is Larimar? Larimar is a very rare gemstone. That is to say, only a small mountainous area in the Dominican Republic is where the gem can be found, and it is created by volcanic activity. Norman Rilling and Miguel Méndez discovered the gemstone in 1974, and Méndez created the name larimar, by combining his daughter's name, Larissa, and the Spanish word for sea, Mar. Larimar is a stunning Caribbean Sea blue color, which is perfect for our sea creature inspired jewelry. With our Larimar Maryland Crab Earrings, you can appreciate this beautiful gemstone and its history.
