This paper presents basic mineralogical and petrological data of the rocks hosting larimar deposit from the Sierra de Bahoruco, in the SW part of the Dominican Republic. Larimar is a unique ornamental stone with a wealth of decorative qualities. The Las Filipinas Larimar Mine in Barahona Province is the only place of this type in the world. Its production and distribution require radical action; hence, the paper also provides current information on the extraction of this raw material and prospects for the future. The paper indicates the possibility of using a new adit support system based on a mixed support (arch support and shotcrete). Numerical analysis shows the need to create a shotcrete coating around the entire circumference, about 15 cm thick. The variable geotechnical situation around the excavation, caused by the planned operation, prompts the use of slightly different solutions in the field of support. The article presents an outline of the technology using Polish experience. It is a support-bolt casing system with the latest achievements in this field
