Pearl gemstone, also known as "Moti" in Hindi, is the birthstone of June. This precious gem exhibits a splendidly glistening white or black sheen. Pearls are known to boost harmony, courage, fearlessness, and stability.
This alluring June birthstone develops into the oceans, lakes, and rivers around the globe. Its magnificent charm never fails to impress beauty lovers. The origin of mukta stone captured the interest of our ancestors. People from the Middle East used to believe that pearls were teardrops descended from paradise. The Chinese on the other hand had a conception of pearl originating from the brain of a dragon.
These naturals gems develop inside the tissue of a living oyster or a mussel. The process starts as soon as an irritant enters the shell of the mollusk and it, in response, starts to secrete a substance called nacre all around the irritant.
Cultured pearls are an outcome of human intervention where an irritant like a piece of mantle tissue alone or a mother-of-pearl shell bead is manually inserted into a host shell. These pearls are cultivated in saltwater or freshwater pearl farms where the mollusks are washed, guarded against predators, and eventually collected.
Years of peal collection have exhausted natural sources of pearls to a large extent therefore, cultured pearls account for the vast majority of pearls in the market today. These cultured pearl birthstones come in a dazzling variety of sizes, colors, and shapes. The finest of original pearl gemstones are found in the Persian Gulf.
