Oval Cabochon Larimar Stone
This item is an oval-cut cabochon gemstone, appearing to be Larimar (a rare pectolite). The stone exhibits a high-gloss, polished finish with a smooth, domed surface characteristic of a cabochon cut. Its color palette is composed of variegated shades of sky blue, pale turquoise, and milky white, creating the 'sea-and-sky' mottled pattern unique to Larimar. There are visible inclusions of light brownish-tan matrix near the top right edge, which is common for natural specimens. The stone's dimensions appear relatively small, suitable for a ring or pendant mount. Under inspection, the surface shows no major fractures or chips, indicating the stone has been well-maintained or is newly cut. The craftsmanship is evident in the symmetrical oval shape and the consistency of the polish across the convex surface. Larimar is exclusively found in the Dominican Republic, making the origin of the raw material geographically specific. This particular specimen lacks internal dark spotting (dendrites) often seen in lower grades, suggesting a medium-to-high quality decorative stone. No maker's marks or signatures are present as it is an unmounted loose gemstone.
