Pearls are considered organic
gemstones, and are formed in shellfish, namely mussels, oysters
and sea snails, as a natural defense against irritants such as granules of
sand and grits. When these irritants gets inside the shell, the
shellfish secretes layers upon layers of aragonite
 (CaCO3
calcium carbonate), that together with conchiolin and a small 2% of
water, will gradually build up to form the solid
pearl.
The pearl gemstone, also known as
Mukta or Moti,
according to Vedic
astrology, is the primary gem for the Moon or Chandra. The
ascendants that benefits the most for wearing a pearl gemstone are
Cancer, Scorpio, Aries and Pisces.
It can be worn as a ring or pendant.
The pearl should be worn first on a
Monday, an hour after sunset, when the moon
is waxing. It should be set in a white metal. If set in a ring, it should be worn on the
pinkie finger of the
right hand for males, left hand for females. Due to the pearl's
softness, best is to have it set in a pendant.
"Aum som
somaya namah"
repeated 11 times at the time of
wearing a Moon talisman.
"Born
from the wind, from the air, from the lightning, from the
light,...born from the gold, may the pearl
protect us from any fear"
