The Pearl derives its Name from the Latin Perna, Sea Mussel.

The Pearl in folklore:

The Pearl is associated with Cancer, but can be worn by almost any People except Aries and Virgos. It is an Emblem of Purity, Innocence, Peace, Chastity, and Ability. It is deemed as an Inspirer of Love, and is supposed to possess the Power of curing Fevers and irritable Tempers. A Pearl wrapped in a Bag of Leather and tied round the Neck of an Ox will benefit it and increase its Fruitfulness. It protects Pearl Divers from Sharks. It is used Medicinally as a Remedy for Blood Orders, Swooning, Heart Troubles, Digestive Irregularities and Stomach Complaints, as an Absorbent and as an Antacid. When powdered and served with Milk, the Pearl is a Cure for Irritability. When mixed with Sugar, it is a Charm against Pestilence. If at an afflicted Birth, Pearls are buried, Good will come to the Child and will continue to come unless the Pearls are unearthed. Ground into Powder and mixed with distilled Water, it restores Sanity. It is also used for Fainting Spells.
