Larimar is a semi-precious blue, white-blue, or milky blue or green mineral - one of the varieties of pectolite.
Its rare blue color of the mineral is bound to the presence of a small content of vanadium in the rock.
Actually larimar is found in only two places on the planet - on the Peninsula of Barahona in the Dominican Republic and in the area Fitta near Soave in Italy.

The unofficial name of the mineral is dolphin stone, so
how the locals believed that the blue stones were thrown ashore by the sea
Surf. In fact, the Baoruko River carries the stone to the coast. Besides
blue larimars, in Haiti there are bluish and greenish stones, and in Canada – grayish.
