Thanks, but it is not Larimar. Have a Larimar ring and it is similar but not the same. Possibly Moonstone? But thought Moonstone was clear
Theres a lot of variety with Larimar, so not looking like one you have doesnt knock it out of the running. Every stone is different with different patterns, translucency and shades of color.
Search "images larimar" in Google to see what I mean. You could search Ebay too but a lot of the stones in the listing photos look like theyve either been color-enhanced or the photos have been tweaked. Many of the Larimar stones that Ive seen on the cable shopping channels look a lot like the one in your pictures.
Im not sure about moonstone, yours doesnt seem to have the "shimmer" that Im used to seeing from that kind of stone.
If you have a local jeweler that you buy from or who does your clock and jewelry repairs, Id definitely ask there. But it should be a real been-there-forever type jewler if possible. Most family-type jewelers will have at least one person who has one or more GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certificates, I know mine does.
And always remember that there are a LOT of fakes coming into the market and not just of the expensive stones either. Even the very inexpensive decorative stones can be, and are, faked.
