Freshwater Pearls
Pearl is the official birthstone for the month of June as adopted by the American National Association of Jewelers in 1912.
It is also the birthstone for the Sun Signs of Gemini and Cancer.
Pearls vary in color from white to those with a hint of color, often pink, to brown or black. Each coloration will depend on the type of mollusk and the water where the mollusk lived. Because the nacre is organic, pearls are very sensitive to extreme heat, acids, dryness, and humidity.
Care should be taken when storing them.
