This
is
a
quaint
privately
owned
museum
and
store
dedicated
to
a
gemstone
unique
to
DR.
Larimar's
discovery
is
relatively
recent
but
is
a
big
deal
to
Dominicans
along
with
amber.
It
is
beautiful
and
not
crazy
expensive.
Under
USD$100
will
get
you
a
small
piece...a
few
hundred
will
get
you
a
serious
piece
of
jewelry
and
over
$500
for
extraordinary
pieces.
It's
special
without
being
formal
wear
jewelry.
The
first
floor
is
a
store
and
Mrs.
Puello
who
attended
us
was
very
knowledgeable
and
kind.
Not
aggressive
at
all
like
other
stores
we
have
visited
for
Larimar.
She
spent
a
full
hour
and
we
were
very
happy
with
our
purchase,
which
comes
with
a
certificate
of
authenticity.
I
had
done
reading
about
the
stone
prior
to
going
and
tested
her
and
she
really
knew
her
stuff.
The
museum
upstairs
is
bilingual.
Nice
way
to
spend
10-20
minutes
in
la
Zona.
It's
educational
so
it's
fun
if
you
are
into
geology,
gemstones
and
science.
If
you
get
tired
of
seeing
the
churches
in
la
Zona
and
you
have
eaten,
these
little
museums
are
a
nice
way
to
spend
time.
This
one
has
bathrooms
for
the
public
also.
It's
very
close
to
the
cacao
museum
as
well.
