I wonder when they'll close the Larimar mine? If the Dominicans only knew what a rush of business that would bring.

Betty, Etsy is a website that specializes in handmade goods.

Hope its not soon. With Sleeping Beauty, Chrome Diopside and Tanzanite being closed or running out, I don't want another of my favs out of reach.........

I hope my larimar does not have green in it - that is the low quality stuff - I have gotten good larimar from JTV but the best larimar I have received was from Sajen Sllver which has been on several shopping channels.

And Coleen is a tall big boned women and has said her wrists are large. At least 7 1/2 inches.

CCM, I hope you get a good piece of Larimar but all they showed during the show had the greenish blobs. I also have a Sajen Larimar from when they were on ShopNBC, but it has a greenish tinge too. I bought a beautiful big stone on eBay and the seller made me a ring. Let us know what you get.

Why would larimar be included in something called 'Himalayan Gems' when it's only found in the Dominican Republic?

The jewelry is made in Nepal, but the stones are sourced worldwide.

Okay, thanks, that makes sense.

Well, now the Larimar ring is being sold at double the price and IN STOCK! Apparently they kept many from being sold at waitlist so they could sell them at the regular price. NO THANKS!

I checked HSN and so far there are 19 reviews with a 3 star average. Many negatives. Maybe it's good that I couldn't order my size. I surely wouldn't order it at the price they are selling now! ($179!!!)

Things tend to work out for the best. There are many other sources if you really want Larimar.
