Minerals - Larimar - English Italian Hand

"Larimar is a very rare, beautiful sky blue form of pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. The color of this mineral always reminds me of an aerial view of the sky & waters around the Caribbean islands.

In English-Italian Hand, knot-work flourishing was often used to dress up a cap letter. This form of flourish was handed down from the older, true Italian styles. The final letter is a rare form of r, and when employed was almost always used only at the end of a word or an abbreviation."
