Van Gogh Larimar is rarer than the AAA1 Larimar, is found deep in the veins of the Larimar mine in Bahoruco Dominican Republic. Van Gogh is a combination of different color of pectilite that formed together for million of years. To qualify for a Van Gogh Larimar, it must have blue larimar and four additional colors. including red, green, black, grey. Although some Van Gogh does have more than 5 colors it only increases the value and beauty of the stone.
Angel Larimar has deep blue with dark grey or black veins or patterns through out the specimen. Some of this pattern are found as a whole specimen with its beautiful colors and designs, but most of the time is found at the edges of a rough AAA larimar rock. Spheres of this pattern are very difficult to make due to the thinnest of the pattern that blends into the Larimar.
Fancy Tan Larimar although no official name has been given to this style of Pectolite, the beautiful soft tan color is eye catching. Most of the Fancy larimar seemed to have a significant pattern that resembles petrified wood or some sort of petrified plant.
Black Larimar In reality this is not Larimar or pectolite, This mineral is a mixture of Calcite and Morimotoitein which could be classified as petrified palm. This specific mineral is mostly found in the upper layer of the larimar vein which the miners called it cenizas (ashes). It’s form in a nice formed tube with a greenish crust or layer.
