Unlike other gemstones that come from the earth, Pearls are formed in mollusks that
can be found in both fresh and saltwater. Small foreign bodies, like grains of sand or
small parasites, get inside the mollusk and form layers of pearly materials around it as a defense.
Layers in the Pearl build up just like the layers of an onion, creating concentric circles. The
more layers are formed, the larger the Pearl becomes. The overlapping layers also create
an iridescent luster, which gives the Pearl its unique beauty. Unlike man-made Pearls,
naturally occurring ones can have very slight irregularities in their shape,
which adds to their charm, worth, and beauty. Keep watching for more!
THE MEANING Pearls have a special fascination
for those who see the world in a spiritual way. In Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, the
"flaming pearl" symbolizes our own inner wisdom and strengthens our connection with the cosmos'
divine energies. Pearls are an introspective gem, encouraging us to really discover our
true selves and our true purpose here on Earth. Pearls are also prized by magicians, witches,
and witches are protective talismans against unwanted energies from other-worldly sources
THE PROPERTIES Pearls are available in white, brown, pink, black,
gold, and blue, depending on the kind of mollusk and water in which the Pearl is found. Unlike
gemstones that are measured by carat, a pearl's weight is given in grains. It takes approximately
4 grains of Pearl to equal a gemstone carat. Pearls can be found in the Philippines and
Sri Lanka and the Caribbean, and the Gulf of California. Freshwater and saltwater Pearls can
also be found in Japan, China, Ireland, Scotland, France, Austria, Australia, Germany, and the USA.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Pearls are not usually considered to be
crystals or stones. Gem would be a more accurate description. They occur in various colors, measure
from 2.6 - 4.6 on the Mohs scale of hardness, and are usually measured in pearl grains.
METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES Pearls can be used in a similar way to
crystals and minerals for healing and metaphysical purposes. Their energy is feminine in nature,
meaning that they are useful tools to use if you have an excess of Yang or masculine energy
in your meridian and chakra systems. Pearls can be used to access the wisdom of the Goddess in many
moon rituals and also in manifestation work. They are very balancing in their vibration,
gently bringing the energies of balance and harmony to the aura and etheric bodies.
In terms of physical healing, Pearls are often used to treat digestive tract disorders and
address skin complaints, from minor blemishes to more severe scarring, acne, and rosacea.
THE BENEFITS Pearls symbolize wisdom
gained through experience. They will help you learn the lessons from every life experience,
