Visual character
Pale blue to blue-green material, usually opaque to translucent, often marked by cloudy white, web-like, or layered variation. Its finish is softly lustrous rather than highly transparent.
From raw to bead
Rough larimar can show uneven matrix-like surfaces and muted blue areas. Polishing rounds the material and makes its pale blue body color, clouding, and natural pattern feel more continuous.
Origin & geology
Larimar is the trade name commonly used for blue pectolite, a calcium sodium silicate mineral. Pectolite can form in cavities and veins within volcanic settings; this record does not state the source of Veil Loom material.

Care & wear
This material is best treated gently: avoid abrasion, hard impacts, prolonged water exposure, household chemicals, and ultrasonic or steam cleaning. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear. For a finished Veil Loom bracelet, follow the care needs of the complete composition.
Curator note
Larimar feels open and calm. It suits bracelets meant to stay easy, light, and visually breathable.
