June Birthstone~Pearl

Pearl is the birthstone for the month of June. When certain mollusks get an irritant in them, the mollusk will respond by secreting what is called nacre. Nacre builds a smooth coating around the irritant (sand, or a parasite for example) and creates a pearl.
The two types of pearls are Salt Water and Fresh Water, and they come in several different colors.
