Pearl

The pearl is the oldest known gem, and for many centuries, it was considered the most valuable. Unlike all gems, the pearl is organic matter derived from a living creature - oysters and mollusks. It was said in some early cultures that the pearl was born when a single drop of rain fell from the heavens and became the heart of the oyster. Pearls have been called the 'teardrops of the moon'. Some believe that pearls were formed by the passage of angels through the clouds of heaven.

 Carnelian

Carnelian (also sometimes referred to as cornelian) is found primarily in India, as well as various sites in South America. It is a variety of chalcedony. The most favorable pieces are a deep red-to-red-orange hue. Carnelian has a long and storied past, and was once considered strictly the property of the noble class. People holding high social statuses were often buried with this gemstone. Carnelians are traditionally associated with courage.
