Pearl, which is well known as The queen of gemstones, has a wide history and charm that extends far beyond the wearer of today’s time. Pearl is a wonderful gem obtained from the shells in the sea and is very rare to trace in its natural form. Pure and natural pearls are round in texture, smooth, and white in color. Besides making beautiful jewelry, they are extensively used in cosmetic products and astrological purposes.

Origin

Pearls​ are not actually stones, rather they are gems. They are naturally produced by mollusks (snails). Mollusks are sea animals that are found deep down in marine water. The pearls are produced due to the irritation caused to these organisms.

A Pearl is a hard substance produced by a soft organism. Chemically, pearls are calcium carbonate (caco3)in a microcrystalline form which is made by living organisms by depositing them at concentrated levels. If we talk about pearl’s physical properties, its hardness varies from 2.5 to 4.5 on the hardness scale.
