Larimar & Emotional Bravery: A Journaling Journey | Crystal Healing Blog
In the world of healing crystals, few stones evoke the serene yet empowering energy of Larimar. Known as the "Dolphin Stone" or the "Caribbean Gem," this rare blue crystal carries the essence of ocean waves and sky meeting at the horizon—a perfect metaphor for the balance between vulnerability and courage. For those seeking to cultivate emotional bravery, Larimar offers a profound energetic blueprint for journaling and self-discovery.
What Is Larimar?
Larimar is a variety of pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic, its milky-blue hues swirling with patterns reminiscent of tropical waters. Metaphysically, it resonates with the throat chakra and heart chakra, making it a bridge between emotional honesty and compassionate expression. Its energy is often described as "liquid courage for the soul," gently dissolving fear while awakening our capacity to speak and live our truth.
