Pearl (Moti) Guide
Pearls known to be “The Queen of Gems”
- Pearls (Moti) are one of the earth’s most beautiful natural treasures. They are known for their soothing and calming effect on the wearer, much like the tranquility of the moon they represent. Pearls stand out due to their unique origin within the body of a living organism called 'Mollusc'.Natural pearls are incredibly rare, found in about one of every 10,000 oysters, and they require no enhancement. Pearls are called by various names in different cultures, such as 'Moti,' 'Tarak Ratna,' 'Chandra Ratna' in Hindi, 'Mukta' in Sanskrit, and 'Margarita stone' in Latin.
In Vedic Astrology, pearls represent the Moon and are believed to have a soothing effect on the wearer. They can calm the mind, control emotional imbalances, and manage anger.

They improve self-expression, concentration power, and self-confidence.Strengthening bonds with the mother and improving maternal health is another benefit.Pearls stimulate water balance in the body, promoting youthful skin, bright eyes, and a robust circulatory system.
Pearls are usually left in their original shape. They can be round, near-round, pear-shaped, oval, button-shaped, or baroque (irregular). Round pearls are the most valuable.
