Definition of the
Pearl, additional information about the June Birthstone
Definition of Pearl, the June birth stone: The word Pearl is derived
from the Latin word "pirum" which means "pear" which
reflects the shape of the gem. A smooth lustrous round structure having
a brilliant luster, with varying tints, found inside the shell of a
mollusk such as a clam or oyster. It is formed due to a secretion of
shelly substance around some irritating foreign particle. Its substance
is the same as nacre, or mother-of-pearl. Pearls which are round, or
nearly round, and of fine luster, are highly esteemed as jewels, and
compare in value with precious stones. Real pearls are made by oysters
or other mollusks whilst imitation pearls are man-made. Cultured
pearls are made by mollusks but with human intervention (an irritant
introduced into their shells causes a pearl to grow). A good sized pearl
can take between five to eight years to form, which is usually the
entire life of the oyster or mollusk. The cost depends on the size and
the coating, or “nacre”, on a real pearl which gives it its iridescence.
