The character of Larimar comes through in its aqua, blue, cyan / blue-green, green, and brown colour and the way that colour interacts with a silicate structure. That combination of aqua body colour, 6.5 Mohs hardness, and vitreous lustre is what usually makes it recognisable in practice. The secondary blue note often matters more than people expect when separating it from lookalikes.

Lava stone is a porous volcanic basalt used as an ornamental bead and decorative material.

Lazurite is a blue feldspathoid mineral and the key color component in lapis lazuli.

The appeal of Peruvian Blue Opal lies in what happens after the stone is turned in the light. That combination of blue body colour, opalescence, play of colour, iridescence optical effects, and 5.5 Mohs hardness is what usually makes it recognisable in practice. The effect is best judged in motion, since a static view rarely shows the full character of the stone.
