Larimar, also called "Stefilia's Stone", is a rare blue variety of the silicate mineral Pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic, in the Caribbean. Its coloration varies from white, light-blue, green-blue to deep blue.

Variquoise is named from the combination of Variscite and Turquoise. When specimens cannot readily be determined to be either Variscite or Turquoise, they are a mixture of the two and termed “Variquoise”. Variquoise gems are typically available as cabochons with medium to bright green colors with a waxy luster and may have “spider-web” veins.
