Last weekend we took a very wild ride up the mountain to see the Larimar mines. Larimar is a beautiful blue stone and when polished make beautiful rings, necklaces and bracelets. The roads up to the mines are horrendous and on this day we encountered torrential rains on the way up. It was really very dangerous. Once we reached the mines, the miners were running for cover and getting out of the mines as fast as they could to avoid being electrocuted. The lifespan of a Larimar miner is much shorter than most any other work here in the Dominican.
The hole is owned by one man and he hires workers to dig the mine and mine it. You can probably guess who makes most of the money from the mining of the stone. The mine owners have just three more years of mining and then the government takes over the land. It looks like there is much exploration going on right now. Time is running out for the mine owners. The government will probably lease the land and take some of the profits.
