Larimar Museum and Factory
Larimar is a gemstone which was formed through the heat of volcanic eruptions. Only found on the Dominican Republic, it has recently joined the ranks of what are known as precious stones. Although they come in a variety of colours, azure blue is the most sought after as the clear colour imitates the waters that surround the country. Visitors to the factory can learn how these gems are mined and turned into items of jewelry.
