Ram-tare-maya - Oh Rama, this is Your illusion!---Pearls

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

> What are your thoughts about seed pearls or river pearls/ freshwater

> pearls?

 

---I believe that the "mukta" or "Moti" referred to by Shastra and

jyotish can only be what THEY are talking about. And in those times,

even up to 150 years ago, there was only one kind of pearl, i.e.,

natural pearl. This natural pearl is recognized in modern gemology.

This natural pearl is a "single sacred unit"; such natural was created

by nature in substance, SHAPE, and composition. Anything other than

that is not shastric. Because Shastra didn't fore see that in Kali yuga

humans would place -preshaped- beads in live oysters, and these coated

by a layer of nacre (pearl substance). By in an x-ray it is clearly

seen to be only a small % of pearl substance with out a pearl core or

pearl make-up composite. Shastra also did foresee that the human race

would become so illusioned (in Kali yuga) that the true PEARL of the

Vedas would be forgotten completely, and humans would take a non-pearl

to be a pearl simply on surface appearance, forgetting the sacred

makeup of what is a real pearl 100% nacre and natural composite. Now,

only a gemologist knows the difference between an imitation and a

natural; but in the jyotish-gemstone world it has been comletely

forgotten and unknown. A pity really, because there are natural pearls,

in gem quality, and they cost about $2,000-$5,000 per carat. in ring

sizes, and much cheaper in small NR sizes. At most that's about the

same as a gem quality ruby or emerald - even though natural pearl - in

GEM quality - is more rare than any of the nine gems, still it is not

most expensive.

 

What I have seen is that people are not prepared to pay a fair and

reasonable price for a natural pearl due to complete ignorance of the

difference between a naturally shaped and composed Natural Pearl- and

all variations of cultured. If "nacre" substance is to be taken as a

"pearl" then wood should be taken as a house, or a brick spray-painted

with ruby (red corundum) powder as a ruby.

 

Fact: Natural pearl is EASILY separated from all cultured by x-ray. But

who wants to pay $6000 for a 3 carat natural pearl, when they can buy a

cultured pearl much cheaper, for only $30,000 *GRIN* ---Actually a

cultured pearl of 3 carats is only a few $. And you get what you pay

for!

 

When people show me their Sri Navaratna, containing a $2. cultured

pearl, I don't know if I should laugh OR cry!

 

Ram-tare-maya - "Oh Rama, this is Your illusion!"

 

Hope this help... Om svasti astu!

 

Best regards,

 

Richard
