South Sea Pearl Stone

South Sea 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 or mussel, the soft tissues or rather the mantle of the living shelled mollusk, 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 or dirt is the cause of irritation which causes the nacre to be secreted in a mollusk shell. Rather it is considered to be a microorganism or parasite which mostly causes this phenomenon to set in the mantle of the shelled mollusk.

South Sea pearls are prized gemstones known for their beauty and benefits. Pearls promote emotional well-being and bring calm and balance. They symbolize purity, integrity, loyalty, sincerity, and trust. South Sea pearls enhance wisdom, creativity, and connection with the sea and nature. They have a soothing effect on the mind and can help with stress and anxiety. South Sea pearls are treasured for their elegance and potential to promote inner harmony and emotional serenity.

South Sea Pearl gemstone is a combination of calcium carbonate and a complex protein called conchiolin, with a hardness from 2.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale. The value of natural found Pearls are made when an unwanted object or irritant gets into the oyster's shell and gets stuck there during the pearl-making process. This irritant in the form of sand or dust from the ocean triggers the oyster's defense system, which makes it secrete layers of mucus. The secretion, also called nacre, turns into a natural pearl over time. Thus, the value and quality of a natural pearl are based on the quality of the nacre. 

South Sea Pearls are cultured pearls in which a small shell-like catalyst is used to accelerate the production of nacre and produce pearls that are almost perfectly round. In these Pearls, the object or irritant is put inside the creature with human help. Cultured pearls are prized for their beauty and luster, as well as their perfectly rounded shape.
