Do the stones we wear affect our moods or our wellbeing? Some people think they do. Here are some things I found out pearls. I think whether they do or not, the thoughts are as beautiful as the pearls themselves.
Pearls
The pearl is the oldest known gem, and for many centuries it was considered the most valuable. Unlike all gems, the pearl is organic matter derived from a living creature - oysters and mollusks.
There is much folklore and tradition about the pearl. In fact so much history accompanies this stone that five months claim it as a birthstone - February, April, June (traditional), July and November.
The pearl is an astral stone for the signs Gemini and Cancer, and astrologers link it to the moon. It was said in some early cultures that the pearl was born when a single drop of rain fell from the heavens and became the heart of the oyster. Pearls have been called the 'teardrops of the moon'. Some believe that pearls were formed by the passage of angels through the clouds of heaven.
Over time, the pearl has become the symbol of purity and innocence and it is often sewn into bridal gowns, or worn as jewelry by the bride.
I love this topic Lara! I have always felt like stones have their own energies. I always like wearing Tiger's Eye when in need for a catalyst for change in my life. Im a Gemini and Tiger's Eye is supposed to bring chenge to Gemini's, so I wear and old ring of my Mom's when in need of a little jump start. Whether true, or all in my head, it always works. :) Beautiful Blog, Im happy to be following. Happy New Year!
