Pearl Stone (Moti)

Pearl, known as “moti” in Hindi, is an organic gemstone formed within the shells of mollusks like oysters and mussels. It is valued for its lustrous appearance and is primarily composed of calcium carbonate. Pearls come in various colors, including white, cream, pink, black, and even shades of green or blue, influenced by the type of mollusk and its environment. Pearl stone is ruled by the planet moon and assigned to the zodiac cancer.

मोती कई समाजों में सांस्कृतिक और ऐतिहासिक महत्व रखते हैं। वे अपनी सुंदरता, पवित्रता और शाश्वत सुंदरता के लिए पूजनीय हैं। ज्योतिष में मोती को चंद्रमा से जोड़ा जाता है और इसे भावनात्मक कल्याण, अंतर्ज्ञान और स्त्रीत्व का प्रतीक माना जाता है।

Pearl Formation – Natural pearl formation occurs when a parasite enters a bivalve mollusk and makes its home inside the shell. The irritated mollusk forms a pearl sac of external mantle tissue cells and secretes calcium carbonate and conchiolin to cover the irritant. This process is repeated many times, producing a pearl.
