Editorial policy

Larimar Miner publishes information about Larimar’s mineralogy, geology, history, mining, processing, grading, authenticity, cultural significance and trade. Our commercial involvement gives us direct access to material and field knowledge. It also creates potential conflicts that must be disclosed and managed.

We label material using the following categories:

Findings published through scholarly peer review. We describe methods, sample limitations and later research where relevant.

Laws, government documents, registries and historical records. Official status does not automatically make every scientific statement inside an old document current.

A dated observation tied to a person, place, specimen, photograph or measurement. Field evidence may be valuable without representing every mine or specimen.

Terminology or methods used by sellers, graders, miners or lapidaries. Trade vocabulary is identified as such and is not presented as formal mineralogical classification.

Symbolic, metaphysical or traditional interpretations. These are presented as beliefs and not as established medical effects.

We prefer primary scientific literature, official documents, recognized gemological references and original records. Secondary sources may be used for context but should not replace an available primary source.

Every substantive scientific or historical article should list its sources. Direct quotations are limited and attributed.

Pages identify the author and, where appropriate, a technical, scientific, historical, safety or legal reviewer. A reviewer’s role means review of the stated area, not endorsement of every commercial activity of Larimar Miner.

Claims about our mining, workforce, safety, community work, traceability or environmental practice require internal records and an identified reporting period.

We do not publish:

• Guaranteed medical outcomes
• Guaranteed investment returns
• Named accusations without evidence, fairness and legal review
• Invented scarcity
• Artificial countdowns
• Customer reviews that cannot be traced to a real interaction
• Scientific certainty beyond the source

Larimar Miner sells Larimar. Product links and commercial relationships should be visible. Educational conclusions must not be rewritten solely to support a sale.

Where an article discusses our own grading system, certificate or operation, it should say so directly.

Images must show the stated object or clearly be labelled as illustrative. Editing may correct exposure, white balance, crop and dust, but must not change the stone’s material features, color category, fractures or inclusions.

Wet rough, backlighting, ultraviolet illumination, microscopy and enhanced contrast must be labelled.

Each evergreen article has a first-publication date and last substantive-review date. A changed date must correspond to a meaningful review or revision, not a ceremonial refresh performed for search engines.

Software may assist with transcription, translation, organization and language editing. Factual claims, citations and final publication require human editorial review. No source is considered verified because a language model produced a confident sentence about it.

The website does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. Mine, workshop and testing guidance cannot replace site-specific professional assessment, equipment instructions or legal requirements.
