What Are June’s Birthstones?

PEARL

Pearls Birthstone Origin & Symbolism

The only "gemstone" that develops within a living mollusk is pearls (either a mussel or an oyster). Ancient people prized them according to their rarity and interesting origins, thinking of them to be teardrops from heaven. Pearls are currently produced across the globe. The most well-known pearl is the huge white South Sea pearls from Southeast Asia and Australia, as well as the rich, black peacock-sheen Tahitian pearls from French Polynesia.

Pearls symbolize innocence, sweetness, humility, and purity. They are considered to provide longevity and fortune to the user. They represent honesty, kindness, and knowledge earned through experience as treasured heirlooms.

Pearls Birthstone Spiritual meanings:

Pearls remind us that the most challenging things in life often change us to become the most beautiful. Just as it takes a mollusk a long time and a lot of effort to turn a grain of sand into a pearl. Pearls are also associated with the moon because they have the appearance of a miniature moon—they are dazzling, sparkling, and glossy. 

The moon also controls the sign of Cancer in astrology, further tying it to the month of June. (Cancer season starts towards the end of June.) It is also related to Monday "Since Mondays are also known as “moon day”, it is very auspicious to wear pearls on that particular day.

Because pearls (both cultured and natural) can be expensive, we believe mother-of-pearl can be an excellent and less expensive option.

Birthstones: Caring Tips!

Pearls have a hardness of 2.5 - 3.0 on the Mohs scale, making them a somewhat delicate gem that requires special care. To avoid scratching, keep them away from other gems and metal jewelry. Never store your pearl birthstones in plastic because plastic bags produces a chemical that might damage the stone's surface. Clean your June birthstone with a soft, moist cloth, ideally it after every time the pearl is worn.
