PEARL

Pearl is a spherical object produced by clams, usually pearl oysters.
Hardness (Mohs' scale): 2-2,5
There are three major varieties of pears:
- freshwater pearls (cultured in China)
- South Sea pearls (Australian, Tahitian, Polynesian)
- Akoya (Japanese sea cultured pearls)

Pearl was the Cleopatra’s favourite gem.

Pearl symbolizes innocence, purity and faith
but also female charm and beauty reminding of its transitory nature.
The average pearl’s life-span is 150 years and unfavourable conditions may speed up its aging process.
After this time it crumbles into a dust.

Pearls promote love, long-lasting relations, maternity and aid in sexual desire disorders.
Pear stabilizes emotions and soothes moody states of mind.
It is perfect gem for born fighters and leaders.

Pears are used to heal heart arrhythmia,
speed up production of antibodies to aid overcome infections.

Astrologically, pearls are assigned to the moon,
thus the jewelry rightly exposing the pearl properties should be manufactured
ONLY during the full moon according to the old rules.
(We respect these rules at URBAN ZEN).

Note! Pearls should not be matched with ruby as together they make a very disharmonious pair.
Pearl should be worn on its own or with emerald or diamond.
