The vital product of certain mollusks is not a mineral. Therefore, it is not entirely correct to call pearls a stone, although in cost and beauty it is not inferior to precious gems, to which it is attributed. Pearls are the most valuable raw materials for the jewelry industry. Framed in silver, they are especially beautiful. Even in the Crown of the Russian Empire, made of gold and silver, against the background of the rest of the splendor, select stone pearls are striking. Properties, the zodiac sign corresponding to this incredibly beautiful organic formation, like all other gems, have become one of the prerequisites for getting him into the crown of kings. Pearls are accompanied by the zodiac signs Pisces and Cancer, which, by a strange coincidence, dominate the birth dates of the royal family. The exception is Gemini - pearls are very suitable for them, but another element protects.
Vintage pearl names
Absolutely all gems are attributed certain properties, healing power, and amulet functions. They correspond to certain signs of the zodiac. Pearl, despite its organic origin, refers to precious stones, and sometimes it is even called the term "mineral". In the end, and onyx, and diamond, and pearls are natural formations, whether they are mined in the depths of the earth or caught in ponds. Pearl, tablecloth, oriental, maharite, pearl grain, or burnitsa grain are the old Russian names for this organic product obtained from river mollusks. Jewelry made of pearls, trimmed by kokoshniks, shoulder pads, and hem of clothing are immortalized on the canvases of Vasnetsov and Glazunov. Long before the appearance on the territory of ancient Russia of selected Japanese or South African beads (the ancient name for pearls), the northern rivers of our country were famous for the extraction of pearls.
The extraordinary mineral
Beauty and uniqueness, unique charm, mysterious depth - these are the qualities that distinguish pearl-stone. Properties, the zodiac sign corresponding to pearls, indicate their belonging to the water element. Burynitsky grain has long been famous for its antiseptic and hemostatic properties. In antiquity, powders for bleeding wounds were made from crushed pearls. And in ancient Russia, this powder, diluted in water, was considered the best remedy for madness. Belonging to the water element, the purifying force of which is that, having surged, it carries away all the bad, all negative with itself, makes this stone, especially for Pisces, a guardian of all evil in the world.
Stone properties
Who needs
pearls? Pisces is the main zodiac sign corresponding to it. He is close to
Cancer and Gemini, for whom he acts as a talisman. Humanity is divided into people who deny astrology as pseudoscience, and those who will not live a day without looking at the zodiac calendar. Moreover, now you can’t find a newspaper or magazine without data on what this week holds for you according to astrology. This very knowledge is so ancient, rooted in the depths of the Sumerian, Babylonian and ancient Greek astral myths, which cannot but arouse interest. The first astrological calendars were published in China 6,000 years ago. They are as old as the grain about which there is a story. According to their information,
pearls (stones), properties whose zodiac sign has been studied for centuries, are full of such powerful strength that they can practically revive the dead. So, in Japan, in combination with jasper, he is credited with the ability to return to youth. In the old book "Svyatoslav Izbornik" it is said about longevity and prosperity, the guarantee of which is the slope when it is worn everyday.
Women favorite
Pearls (stone), properties, the zodiac sign and everything connected with it in ancient Egypt was considered the personification of the moon - the celestial body, which, along with Venus, is the patroness of women, especially after their marriage. The moon stone adorned, protected and healed them.
The delight that has passed through the centuries envelops Cleopatra's beauty, especially her skin glowing from the inside. The remedy, which gave such an effect, according to legend, is a pearl dissolved in lemon juice. Of course, in the current understanding of the zodiac sign, the Egyptian queen did not have, but her horoscope is associated with the Nile, that is, with water, and the pearl is her stone. Therefore, it is not surprising that Cleopatra’s favorite casket was decorated with a pearl of extraordinary size and regular oval shape.
Catherine de Medici was proud to have the largest collection of such jewelry. Her namesake, Catherine II, had an amazingly beautiful necklace of 30 black pearls, the largest of which weighed 3.8 grams. The empress's zodiac sign is Taurus, which has nothing to do with pearls, because it corresponds primarily to Pisces and to some extent Cancer.
The Assyrian Queen Semiramis immensely loved her necklace of seven strands of pink pearls. In the XX century, the recognized connoisseurs of this stone were the current English Queen Elizabeth (legends go about her beads) and the fashion queen - Coco Chanel. She claimed that every woman must have a string of pearls. After all, why not? There is this gem of irregular shape, it is cheap, quite affordable, but at the same time it has all the properties of selected pearls and the same brilliance. It is known under the name "baroque" (because it was very fashionable in the XVI - XVII centuries), "button" or "paragon".
Jeweler's Joy
Jewelry made of pearls has not gone out of fashion for centuries. One cannot help but recall again the two rows of large pearls that made the Crown of the Russian Empire, along with the famous tourmaline and thousands of diamonds, the most beautiful royal headdress in the world.
The beauty and originality of magarites, the acute need for them all over the world, forced specialists to resort to the artificial cultivation of this raw material for jewelry and medicinal needs. Legend has it that pearl powder is a very powerful hemostatic. This is mentioned in the work of Avicenna "Canon". As a result of experiments, jewelers now have at hand "wild" pearls, cultivated and called majorika (artificial).
Healing properties, in contrast to beauty, are inherent only to natural stones
Despite the resemblance, artificial pearls categorically do not fit the definition of "pearl-stone." Properties, the zodiac sign attributed to the wild and cultured mineral, have nothing to do with major. Although such pearls greatly benefit in beauty, brilliance and color. Distinguishing a real pearl from a fake is very simple. Natural pearls creak if they are held in the teeth. But not many will be satisfied with the test result - wild orientals are incredibly expensive.
You can talk endlessly about the varieties of pearls, their age and beauty, the price of pearls. What zodiac sign is it most suitable for? There are many opinions. Some consider it a malicious and dangerous stone, claim that it is contraindicated for people who do not have a pair, as it causes them depression and dooms them to further loneliness. The pearls and zodiac signs corresponding to it indicate that it is not suitable for those born under the elements of the Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. It is favorable for very confident, fanatical citizens. On the other hand, pearls strengthens the family, its long contemplation calms the nerves, gives self-confidence. The only sign of the zodiac for which the radiant pearl is just a talisman, incredibly auspicious without any reservations is Pisces. No other stones are suitable for them at all. Throughout life, pearls guard, direct and protect Pisces, and according to some legends, they “fall ill” with the owner and die with him.
Everyone can wear pearls
So what zodiac signs do pearls fit in? It turns out that absolutely - only to Pisces. Crayfish are supposedly more suited to mother-of-pearl, and pearls - only to the extent that it is a relative. Aquarius from this product of organic origin is generally neither cold nor hot, perhaps because they belong to the element of Air. Although Scorpio - the
sign of Water - maharit does not fit at all, the
moonstone corresponds to
it. Again, the positive qualities of pearl grains increase significantly if you receive stones as a gift from a good person. They are very beautiful, noble, mysterious, like the moon itself, the pearl of which is the stone. Moonlight causes only delight and positive emotions - and pearl. I want to believe that he carries with him only positive absolutely for all signs of the zodiac.
