How to grade Larimar
01
Colour saturation
Record the dominant hue, saturation and consistency under stated viewing conditions.
02
Pattern & contrast
Describe the visible veining, contrast and pattern without turning a house category into a value guarantee.
03
Purity
Record staining, inclusions, fractures, repairs and treatments separately from colour and pattern.
“Nice larimar but very few darker blue beads as in photos. Would deal with again.”
