Moonstone is distinguished by its adularescence, an optical effect that produces a glittering reflection across its surface. As for the cultured pearl, it is a calcareous concretion produced by a mollusk and not extracted from a deposit. It has the curious characteristic of being the result of a "biomineralization". We have already explained everything you need to know about the moonstone birthstone of June, let's see together the qualities of the two other birthstones of June which are the cultured stone and the alexandrite.

Cultured Pearl

Cultured pearls known as the "Queen of Jewels" are listed as a birthstone for the month of June and as a commemorative stone for the thirteenth and thirtieth wedding anniversary. It symbolizes health, peace, wealth and longevity. Pearls have been loved by people since ancient times and bring best wishes to those born during this month.

Cultured pearls are the only organic gemstone that is produced by living organisms. They are mainly produced in mollusks such as saltwater shellfish and freshwater mussels, which, due to the stimulation of foreign substances, create a mixture of calcium carbonate and hard proteins.

This means that the nacre or "mother of pearl" envelops the irritant like a protective shell, which then turns into a pearl. Over time, the nacre thickens and the pearl becomes more valuable. According to the genesis, pearls are divided into 2 types: natural and cultured. Nowadays, the vast majority of pearls on the market are cultured pearls.

• Natural Pearls

Natural pearls are produced without human intervention, usually with a core that comes from the environment, such as gravel. Although pearls have been used as decoration for thousands of years, natural pearls are extremely rare and represent only a small percentage of the total number of pearls on the market.

• Cultured Pearls

Pearls formed by manual intervention. To grow cultured pearls, the grower implants individual mantle membranes into the mollusks (usually for freshwater aquaculture) or with a mother-of-pearl (all marine cultures). As a result, the mollusks secrete a pearly nacre to envelop the irritant, which is consistent with natural pearl formation.

Alexandrite of June

Because of its color-changing effect from green in sunlight to red in candlelight and incandescent lamps, alexandrite has been hailed by many poets as "an emerald by day and a ruby by night." It is said that alexandrite was first found in an emerald mine in the Urals, Russia, in 1830. The miners dedicated this gem to Prince Alexander II on his 21st birthday.

As a birthstone for June, alexandrite promotes emotional well-being by increasing confidence, self-esteem and ultimately making the person happy. It also symbolizes luck, good fortune, prosperity and longevity. In daylight, its color is usually gray-green, light yellow-green or blue-green; but under incandescent light sources, it usually looks brown or purplish red. This is why alexandrites are commonly called "emeralds by day, rubies by night".

Alexandrite contains a small amount of chromium, which makes it the most powerful in transmitting green light, the second most powerful in transmitting red light, and it absorbs all other light very strongly. Therefore, during the day, under sunlight, the stone transmits the most green light, which makes it appear green. When illuminated by approximately white light, similar to daylight, it also appears blue. But at night, when we use candles, oil lamps or red-rich tungsten filament lamps, the stone transmits the most red light, making it appear red. Alexandrite's strong and obvious discoloration makes it an excellent treasure.
