About pearl
- Pearl is the best-known gem made by a living creature: an oyster or mussel coats an irritant in layer after layer of nacre.
- Natural pearls are so rare that almost every pearl sold today is cultured: a pearl farmer places the starting bead by hand.
- The 30th wedding anniversary is the pearl anniversary.
Also for June: alexandrite and moonstone
- Alexandrite changes color: green in daylight, red under lamplight. It was found in Russia’s Ural Mountains in the 1830s and named after the future Tsar Alexander II.
