Natural Basra Pearl Stone

Natural Basra Pearl gemstones are formed as a defense mechanism of the Oysters, Clams, and Mussels. When a foreign body or an irritant enters the oyster shell, clam or mussel, the soft tissues or rather the mantle of the living shelled mollusk, it automatically secretes a smooth crystalline substance called 'nacre' to form a coating on the irritant because it is not able to dispel it. This natural process goes on for years to form the natural Pearl stones. It is a misconception that a grain of sand or dirt is the cause of irritation which causes the nacre to be secreted in a mollusk shell. Rather it is considered to be a microorganism or parasite which mostly causes this phenomenon to set in the mantle of the shelled mollusk.

Naturally formed Basra Pearl gemstone is precious, very rare, and highly valuable. It is a combination of calcium carbonate and a complex protein called conchiolin, with a hardness from 2.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale. It is interesting to note that the nacre secreted by mollusk shells is called Mother-of-Pearl which is commonly known as Mother Pearl stones.

Like other gemstones, the quality of Pearl is also determined by the four Cs (Color, Cut, Carat, Clarity).  

Color 

The best quality Basra pearls come in light creamy white.

Cut 

The best quality Basra pearls have cuts that maximize the effect of hue, tone, and saturation. Rough Basra pearl gemstones can break due to their fissures.

Carat 

Basra Pearl of 1 carat and above is most popular in Vedic Astrology. Significant smaller and larger pearls are used in contemporary jewelry. Generally, the price of Pearl rises as the size/weight/carat increases.   

Clarity 

In the case of Basra pearls, it is difficult or impossible to identify inclusions due to their opaque surface. Gemologists worldwide accept that the Basra pearls do not have any inclusions. If there were any, they would also affect the external appearance or aesthetics. 

Dealers deal in Basra Pearls, which are synthetic to natural but which are treated/heated and color enhanced, so you must buy only from a reputed dealer with certification from a reputable lab.       

Natural Basra Pearl gemstone Price  

Basra Moti price depends mostly on its color. It increases the value of a pearl if its color is consistent and even. Deep body tones with beautiful overtone colors are more expensive than duller stones. Creamy white Natural Basra pearls are traditional and highly valued. Basra pearl price is also higher as the carat weight increases.

Larger Basra pearls tend to become more valuable and command higher prices due to the fact that they are scarcer and require more time to form within the mollusk. Round pearls, that are symmetrical and spherical in shape, are the most coveted and command the highest prices. The value decreases as the shape becomes more irregular.

It is crucial to acquire untreated, natural pearl gemstones. A gemstone that is heat-treated or undergoes the dying process, its healing properties are lost when it is worn. Pearl has numerous curative properties; to maximize its curative effects, only untreated Natural Basra Pearl stone should be worn.

The price of genuine, natural and unheated, untreated Natural Basra Pearl gemstones at Rudra Centre ranges INR 15,500 to INR 2,73,372 (USD 193 to USD 3.417). 

How to Identify or Test Original & Authentic Natural Basra Pearl?

The best way to check the authenticity of Basra Pearl is by getting a Lab tested report from a reputed laboratory. Rudra Centre only deals with Vedic Astrology approved gemstones that are natural, untreated, and unheated. All our pearls are certified by reputable labs like GIA, GLI, IGI and IGITL.

Look for flaws along with inclusions. Use a magnifying glass with at least 10x magnification to examine the Pearl carefully. Look for specks and blemishes, as they form with minute particles of other material. These flaws are strong evidence that a Pearl is genuine. Lab-created (fake) Pearl have no inclusions of this nature, and neither do natural Pearl, but if you find flaws, then your Pearl is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Pearl are glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Pearl. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Pearl, it is not genuine. Be sure to inspect your Pearl from every angle by turning it over. There is a possibility that bubbles of air will only be evident from a single angle.

Look at how light is reflected by the Pearl. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Pearl. If it is genuine, it will only reflect light of the same hue as itself. If it is a fake, made of glass, it will reflect colors other than the natural color of the gem.

It is safe to use soapy, warm water for thorough cleaning on occasion. If the pearls are strung, the string must be completely dry prior to wearing them.
