June Birthstone: Pearl
June’s stones are pearl, moonstone and alexandrite. The Collection holds the first.
A pearl is not a mineral. It is nacre, thousands of aragonite platelets laid down in layers, and light bends between every one of them.
The Optics
Pearl's lustre, called orient, comes from light interfering across stacked layers of aragonite nacre.
