Pearl, known as Moti in Hindi, is a luminous and soothing gemstone associated with the Moon (Chandra) in Vedic astrology. Unlike other gemstones, it is formed organically within oysters and symbolizes purity, emotional balance, and calmness. Pearl is believed to strengthen the mind, improve relationships, and bring peace and contentment to the wearer — but only if it suits them astrologically.
