PEARL GEMSTONE
Pearl stones are a soothing and beautiful and exceptional gemstone, which actually is not a mineral found on Earth’s crust but nurtured in the depth of Oceans. Though it is termed as a gemstone/stone, it is unlike typical gemstones and crystals and is bred by Sea Oysters and other Shelled Molluscs. The Pearl gems are known as the 'Queen Gem' and are said to symbolize purity, innocence, and modesty. The Pearl gemstone is blessed with inherent healing properties.
Natural Pearl gemstones are formed as a defense mechanism of the Oysters, Clams, and Mussels. When a foreign body or an irritant enters the Oyster Shell/Clam/Mussel, the soft tissues or rather the mantle of the living Shelled Mollusc, it automatically secretes a smooth crystalline substance called 'nacre' to form a coating on the irritant because it is not able to dispel it. This natural process goes on for years to form the natural Pearl stones. It is a misconception that a Grain of Sand/dirt is the cause of irritation which causes the nacre to be secreted in Mollusc Shell. Rather it is considered to be a micro-organism or parasite which mostly causes this phenomenon to set in the mantle of the Shelled Mollusc.

It is a holistic healing therapy that uses the curative and healing properties of Rudraksha and Gemstones to balance your Chakras . In RRCT, we deal only with natural and un-treated gemstones. The reason Rudraksha Ratna Chakra Therapy is widely acclaimed by many is that it works on Chakras, the very basis of life, and is a holistic therapy that heals from deep within, with absolutely no side effects. In RRCT, setting a gemstone in a ring or in a pendant is done by placing the Bhasm made of the planetary herb inside one tube and the metal that improves the planetary effects in another tube. In the case of Pearl stones/ Basra Mukta stone, Palaash Bhasm and metal Silver are used to attract the cosmic power of Moon. The gemstone is then energized with its precise seed mantra on a specific day to empower it to eliminate all the malefic effects of the planet and reinforce its beneficial effects.
