Jacques and his daughter Sundaurap were born in Montreal, Canada

but moved to Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. They shared this island

with many world famous artists. Seeking sun and warmth they

moved to Hawaii and set up residence on the island of Maui.

Little Tibet has a wide range of stones set in hand made jewelry

produced by Jacques. One of the most beautiful stones is Lurimar and is plentiful in this store.

Larimar is a rare gemstone found exclusively in a small inaccessible region of the Dominican Republic. A variety of pectolite, an acid silicate hydrate of calcium and sodium, original inhabitants of this country have long been aware of this extremely rare stone, but it was first qualified as a gemstone in 1974 by Miguel Mendez.

Due to its magnificence and aesthetics, Larimar Stone is widely preferred as a gemstone. Its brilliant blue coloration, which resembles the sky, the planet earth, and the deep Caribbean waters, has raised the belief that this stone helps stress reduction. These reasons have widely contributed to Larimar being used in jewelry. Due to its natural occurrence in the Dominican Republic, Larimar jewelry is available practically on ever street corner and beach in the country. Silver is commonly used for jewelry manufacture, but gold is preferred especially for higher grades of the Larimar.
