Gemstone of the Serene Moon continues.....

Once worn in an auspicious time frame the pearl is effective for a person for 2 years 1 month and 27 days. On completion of this time frame one should wear a new pearl. The existing pearl should be sold or given to a loved one.

The same pearl is effective for that person for 2 years 1 month and 27 days. If such a pearl is Jyotish quality and real then it will be effective for the time span mentioned for every new individual it reaches.

A real natural pearl is made in nature by accident and is very rare
occurrence. To be classified as natural a pearl should be:
– Made in nature by accident
– Without any human or chemical intervention
– Should be 100% Nacre (pearl substance)

It is believed that a Natural Pearl is made in nature by accident when a grain of sand or an intruder organism enters an oyster.

In order to safeguard it self and immobilize the intruder the mollusc secrets a nacreous substance. This process is repeated over a number of years till you actually have a real pearl. Pearl is composed of calcium carbonate in minute crystalline form.

Cultured pearls and farmed pearls, are cheap and have a non pearl body and have a thin coating of nacre, natural pearl is fully all Nacre. Natural pearls are nearly 100% calcium carbonate and conchiolin.
