Don't Cast Your Pearls Before Swine, June's BirthStone~ The

Today's topic is going to be June's birthstone, as we all know every month has a special birthstone to symbolize it and June's happens to be the Pearl.

The pearl, while coming from the Sea, was associated with the Moon in mythologies. Some people believed Pearls were the Moon's teardrops that fell into the Sea. The pearl, looking pure and delicate is associated with the traits purity, wisdom and loyalty.

The ancient Chinese believed that Pearls could give you eternal life to the owner. Ancient Greeks believed that Pearls were a sign of happiness and could even prevent crying!

Pearls are characterized by their Luster, which (if it is good quality) must not be chalky or dull, a Clean Surface is vital if you want the top dollar for your "gem," the less blemishes it has- the more it's worth.

Pearls are considered precious stones and a good quality Pearl will sell for quite a bit. If you wondered what the phrase "Don't Cast Your Pearls Before Swine," meant it is another way of saying don't give something beautiful and precious to something un-deserving, that's where the comic strip Pearls Before Swine gets it's title.

Hello! Great to see this thread! I really like the theme
Wow, I wish I had a pearl. Either thing which could happen to me seems pretty good xD Eternal life, happiness, and no crying! Yay!

Ahh I feel so bored

OK, I know this is kinda random but don't you just hate it when the dentist asks you a question and she is expecting an answer but you can't answer because she has all of these metal tools in your mouth? (I was at the dentist the other day.)
