Larimar is a stone found only in the Dominican Republic. While on a tour yesterday, Kristin and I spotted a necklace of larimar beads. We thought it was too expensive and left the shop without it. This evening at the hotel, artisans set up their tables in the lobby. We went to browse and spotted another necklace of larimar beads. Again, we felt the price was too high. But we both liked this particular necklace very much. We sent in the expert barterer - Rich. He spent about 15 minutes until finally everyone agreed on a price. Kristin and I decided we would share the necklace. It looks even more beautiful around her neck!
