Pearl Stone (Moti Ratna)

Ratna Gems offers Pearl Stone (Moti Ratna) in Keshi Cultured Pearl and classic Cultured Pearl. Almost every pearl sold today is cultured — natural Basra pearls have been commercially unavailable for decades — so we name the variety on every listing. Judge a pearl the way the trade does: lustre first, then surface, shape and size. Small surface marks and slight shape variation are normal in pearls and are worth checking in the photos and video. In Vedic astrology, Moti is the gemstone traditionally worn for the Moon (Chandra), usually on an astrologer's advice. Every pearl is supplied with a gem-testing report naming its variety.
