Natural Pearl or Moti Significance

Pearl is hard, glistening object produced within the soft tissue specifically the mantle of a living shelled mollusk. Pearl is composed of calcium carbonate mainly aragonite or a mixture of “Aragonite” and “Calcite” in minute crystalline form, which has deposited in homocentric layers. The ideal pearl is perfectly round and smooth, but many other shapes, known as ornamental pearls, can occur. The finest quality of natural pearls has been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries. Because of this, pearl has become a metaphor for something rare, fine, admirable, and valuable.

A pearl is a reaction to a nuisance within a mollusk. Pearls are formed when the mollusk secretes thousands of very thin concentric layers of nacre, a secretion of calcium carbonate in a matrix that eventually coats an irritant, either man made or natural. The thin circumferential lamellae of mother-of-pearl intersect the external surface of the pearl to create a pattern called thumb print that characterises the surface of nacre.

However, if the pearl is shapeless on one side and flattened on the other side and its color is like the color of the natural sky, then wearing such a pearl increases the wealth of the holder.

Frequent Asked Questions(FAQs)

Gemstones are primarily rare and beautiful mineral crystals that are cut and polished for use in jewellery or decorative items. In ancient times, kings and emperors wore gemstones to influence or control the energies of their ruling planets. Different types of gemstones are worn to correspond with different celestial bodies such as Ruby, Emerald, Yellow Sapphire, Pearl, Coral, and Blue Sapphire.

In Vedic astrology, a deep and direct connection is believed to exist between gemstones and planets. Each planet possesses its own unique energy, and gemstones serve as a medium to balance or amplify that specific energy. There are specific gemstones as well as their substitutes available for every planet. For instance, a specific gemstone is prescribed for each specific planet: Coral for Mars, Blue Sapphire for Saturn, and Yellow Sapphire for Jupiter.

A gemstone is recommended only when the planet associated with it is a Yogakarak (benefic) in your horoscope, is exalted, is a friend of the Lagna (Ascendant) Lord, is positioned in its own sign within the 1st, 5th, or 9th houses, is weak in terms of degrees, or if the “Lagna” Lord itself is weak. One should never wear a gemstone without consulting an astrologer.

The natural Ruby known as Manik is the best gemstone to represent the Sun.

The Yellow Sapphire gemstone is associated with Jupiter also known as Guru.

The White Sapphire gemstone is primarily associated with Venus. It possesses a unique allure, symbolizes luxury, and helps to soothe and calm both the body and the mind. It serves as a substitute gemstone for the Diamond.

The specific timing for the purification of each gemstone varies. For instance, gemstones such as Ruby, Pearl, Yellow Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, and Coral are typically purified and activated in the morning. Gemstones like Blue Sapphire Neelam, Cat's Eye, and Hessonite Gomedh are traditionally purified in the evening. However, given the busy schedules of modern times, most people tend to perform the purification rituals for all types of gemstones regardless of the specific stone during the morning hours.

To purify a gemstone, take a bowl containing a mixture of raw milk and a small amount of holy Ganges water or Gangajal. Place your ring or locket containing the gemstone into this bowl and leave it immersed for a few hours. Alternatively, you may perform this procedure at night and dispose of the contents of the bowl the following morning.

Afterward, rinse the item thoroughly with water and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

Suppose you wish to wear a Yellow Sapphire; in that case, after cleaning the ring or locket (which had been kept immersed in the bowl), place it near a Shiva Lingam or near the idol of Lord Vishnu in a temple. Then, perform a puja (worship ritual) using incense or Dhoop, a lamp (Deep), and flowers.

For the Yellow Sapphire, chant the Beej Mantra (seed mantra) of Jupiter at least 108 times. Subsequently, chant a mantra dedicated to Lord Shiva 108 times. Finally, after offering your obeisance to Lord Shiva, you may wear the ring or locket while chanting your Guru Mantra.

The traditional scriptural procedure Vidhan for this is to first chant the Guru Mantra 125,000 times, followed by performing Havan (sacrificial fire ritual) for 10% of that count, Tarpan (ritual offering) for 10%, Marjan (ritual purification) for 10%, and offering donations related to the planet Jupiter; only after completing these steps should one wear the gemstone. However, ultimately, it is up to you to decide which method feels most appropriate for you.

Don't wear gemstones without astrological advice. Avoid breakable/cracked stones. Don't wear any stone during Amavasya/eclipse. Gemstones can also cause harm if the Lagna lord is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house in the horoscope, or if there is an unfavorable planetary position.
