June's Birthstones are Classy and Surprising
Early Chinese myths told of pearls falling from the sky when dragons fought. Ancient legend says that pearls were thought to be the tears of the gods and the Greeks believed that wearing pearls would promote marital bliss and prevent newlywed women from crying. Pearls are thought to give wisdom through experience, to quicken the laws of karma and to cement engagements and love relationships. Cultured or freshwater pearls are considered to offer the power of love, money, protection, and luck.
An organic gem, pearls are formed inside mollusks such as oysters and mussels. The most valuable pearls are perfectly symmetrical, relatively large and naturally produced. They have a shimmering iridescence, which is called orient luster. Pearls vary in color from white to those with a hint of color, often pink, to brown or black. Each coloration will depend on the type of mollusk and the water where the mollusk lived. Care should be taken when storing them and wearing them by making sure that they are not exposed to hair spray or purfumes after you have put them on. Because the nacre is organic, pearls are very sensitive to extreme heat, acids, dryness, and humidity.
Alexandrite is a stone for experts, enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Its uniqueness and high value are not evident at first sight. The mysterious color change will only occur on exposure to different light sources. But if you really get involved in alexandrite, you will be utterly fascinated by this gem. Maybe you will also feel some of the mysterious magic and lore ascribed to it. It is considered a stone of very good omen. In critical situations it is supposed to strengthen the wearer�s intuition, and thus help him or her find new ways forward in situations where logic will not provide an answer. Alexandrite is also reputed to aid creativity and inspire imagination.
