Pearls are a slightly different stone in that, instead of being formed beneath layers of rock and dirt, they are formed from the nacre secreted by various mullesks, especially by the oyster. As such, pearls remain a lively stone, shimmering and shining light from within.
Pearls, with their soft roundness, have long been associated with the moon, femininity, and beauty.
Pearls are often used to enhance beauty and self-confidence in a gentle and understated manner, enhancing what qualities are already there and refining hidden facets that may be under-appreciated. Given to children, it helps their inner beauty come forward and helps them confidently act from a place of love and compassion.
For people affected by the moon cycles emotionally or physically, a pearl can help alleviate these symptoms and balance wayward energies.
You have to be careful with pearls, though, because their energy is finite. Strained too hard and doing too much healing too fast will cause a peal to lose it’s luster and eliminate it’s inner light. Charging and cleansing them in the moonlight is highly recommended.
