Pearls are organic gemstones. They are formed when a foreign body becomes trapped inside of the shell of a mollusk. Pearls are a rare occurrence naturally and in previous centuries, thousands of oysters and mussels would have to be opened to find even one. They are now cultivated with the expert help of pearl farmers.

Pearl (multi-color) represents the solar plexus chakra, which is positioned above the abdomen, but under the rib cage. Pearls can help reduce emotional stress and aid in boosting the immune and digestive systems. The pearl is a symbol of feminine wisdom, purity, and spiritual transformation. Pearls resonate with the astrological signs Cancer and Gemini.
