When I make big sweeping statements like “Americans don’t often see the best quality of many things in the stone market”, I mean it. There is a level of taste and quality and connoisseurship in parts of Asia that drive all the insane top quality stuff in that direction. Pay more, get the best. Such is the case for quite a number of stone varieties. That’s why I’ve focused a portion of my effort on japan and China over the last five years. I’m in love with top quality specimens and rough. We also appreciate and sell many qualities, as the best is always scarce and often impossible to buy. Larimar is one stone that is extreme in this regard. I’ve not seen many pieces of larimar of this quality anywhere but in Asia. As @leaverite_tycoon said, this looks like the surface of a swimming pool, frozen inside Pectolite. I need a napkin. The drool factor is real. . . #larimar #pectolite #topquality #killer #blue #ocean #swimmingpool #water #nature #dailyphoto #igdaily #epic #wow #asiantaste #superb #gem #gemhunter #throwinstones #rustyjames
