Interesting Fact:

Pearl

There are two basic varieties of cultured pearls: freshwater and saltwater. Freshwater pearls are grown primarily in man-made lakes and reservoirs in China. Saltwater pearls, which include Akoya, Tahitian and South Sea are grown in bays, inlets and atolls in many places around the world. Saltwater pearls are considered more valuable than freshwater pearls. Pearls, natural (rare) or cultured are formed when a mollusk produces layers of nacre around some type of irritant inside it's shell. In natural pearls, the irritant may be another organism from the water. In cultured pearls, a mother-of-pearl bead or a piece of tissue is inserted (by man) into the mollusk to start the process.

Pearl is the birthstone for June.
