Natural gems of all kinds are beautiful to look at and more satisfying to own. They have for a very longtime, and still are some of the most coveted assets. They have been cut into ornaments, jewelries and art, and have graced some of the most prestigious necks, arms and halls. Their allure and luster have always attracted many, raising their value overtime and making them the exclusive preserve of only the high and mighty of the society including kings and queens. Gems are generally seen as a status symbol and the more pure and rarer a class of gem is, the more value it attracts.
This narrative holds true for the Larimar!
The Larimar falls under the category of semi-precious gems and it is even more valuable due to the exclusivity of its find. The Larimar can only be found in a select volcanic area in the Dominican Republic, making it one of the rarest precious stones in the world. The Larimar is highly sought after and has over the years gained immense popularity in the world and particularly in the East and West due to its beautiful changing hue of blue and green and also more for the esoteric believes in the healing powers of the gem.
The believe, folklores and stories behind the gem makes for an interesting read. Several school of thought have touted the believe that the stones are the long lost blue stones of Atlantis, with notable esoteric personalities like Edgar Cayce said to have prophesied the find and noted the healing properties of the gem. These believe has carried on and is almost singularly responsible for the high demand of this precious gem. Outside those who use it for ornamental purposes, the remaining lot elects to use it for its healing properties for which many have testified of its efficacy. The stone is said to cure illnesses, get rid of stress, high blood pressure, induce calmness, clarity of mind, enhance communicative skills, empower intuition, and inner wisdom. It can even help fisherman attract great bounties from the sea since sea creatures are attracted to the blue stone.
There are so many benefits that can be derived from the Larimar, the trade in it is booming and growing quite nicely, but there exist a couple of problems and in seeking solution, it has led to the establishment of the Atlantis blue project and the proposal for the establishment of the first Larimar exchange.
The Atlantis Blue project is leveraging the power of crypto to help tackle the challenge of proliferation of fake stones, smuggling and the issues arising from benefits to the local artisans, miners and the general community that host the gem mines. The Atlantis blue project, linked up with the association of Larimar artisan workers, and association of Larimar miners to establish the first ever Larimar exchange and the trade in the gem in the crypto market through the issuance of the ABDT token.
The Atlantis blue project seeks to establish the first Larimar exchange, which will be called AB Exchange, after the ICO period, with a mandate to regulate the trade of Larimar and serve as the only legal channel for the sale and distribution of the Larimar to the world. The project is setup to ensure that the value chain in the mining process benefits everyone that is linked and you the investor. There is so much to gain from investing in the ABDT token and the mines as the value is sure to continue to rise overtime. Even now, the benefits are real as during the ICO, price per gram of Larimar as represented by one token is sold at a highly discounted rate and will move to the international market rate once the ICO period ends.
An investment in the Atlantis blue project is a worthy one for any discerning investor and one that is already programmed to give forth maximum reward to investors who buy in during the ICO. Much unlike other crypto assets, the ABDT token is backed by real assets and investments and as such the risk factor becomes considerably lower than what you will find with other investments.
The Atlantis blue project is issuing the tokens under the Stellar blockchain technology platform to allow for greater accessibility and cross platform transactions. The Stellar network is an open source, distributed, and community owned network used to facilitate cross-asset transfers of value.
Truly the Larimar project as I like to call it is ground-breaking and serves as a pacesetter for future exchanges with its unique reward model. This attribute is even more endearing and has positioned it to last and stand the test of time.
