THE BIRTHSTONES IN JUNE: PEARL, MOONSTONE AND ALEXANDRITE

June is a special month because it not only marks the beginning of summer, but also has fascinating birthstones: pearl, moonstone and alexandrite.

THE PEARL

stands for:

  • beauty
  • bliss
  • purity


The pearl is said to have a healing effect on digestive problems.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE PEARL:

Pearls are probably the most famous and oldest birthstone for the month of June. They have been valued and revered for thousands of years. Unlike most gemstones, which are formed deep in the earth, pearls are formed inside oysters and mussels in the sea. Their natural shine and elegant simplicity make them a timeless classic in the world of jewelry.

How to tell if it is a real or artificial pearl:

Real pearls:

  • Slight imperfections: Real pearls have natural, slight imperfections. If you look closely, you may notice small bumps or tiny blemishes.
  • Luster: The luster of real pearls is deep and shimmering, which is created by the reflection of light on the layers of nacre.

Artificial pearls:

  • Perfectly smooth: Artificial pearls often have a perfectly smooth surface with no visible irregularities.
  • Flat luster: The luster of artificial pearls is often flatter and less intense than that of real pearls.

THE MOONSTONE

stands for:

  • clarity
  • Balance
  • New beginning
  • change

Moonstones are often used as a tool for emotional balance and inner peace.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MOONSTONE

Moonstones are known for their shimmering, almost magical appearance. They reflect light in a way reminiscent of moonlight, which gives them their name. This gemstone has been valued for centuries in various cultures and is known for its spiritual properties. 

THE ALEXANDRITE

stands for:

  • transformation
  • Luck
  • prosperity
  • Self-confidence
  • creativity
Alexandrite was discovered on April 23, 1830 and was named after Tsar Alexander II.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ALEXANDRITE

Alexandrite is one of the rarest and most fascinating gemstones. What makes it so special is its extraordinary ability to change color - depending on the light, it can vary from green to red. This property has made Alexandrite a symbol of change and adaptability.
