Organic Gemstones
Nature provides us with a bounty of wondrous gemstones including amber, pearls, shell, jet, ivory, and coral.
Amber, Golden Treasure from Nature  Amber is a very popular choice for jewelry today. One of the few gemstones of organic origin, rather than mineral, amber is the fossilized resin of pine trees. Its glorious golden hues just one more reason to appreciate the incredible gifts of nature. Kari Pearls - Comprehensive Pearl Collector's Resource  If you adore pearls, and particularly if you collect pearl jewelry and/or loose pearls you will find a wealth of information about pearls at Kari Pearls. Less Common Organic Jewelry Collectibles  Non-nacreous 'pearls', opercula, human hair, and insects make an interesting, if not eclectic, group of organic jewelry collectibles. Devoted collectors of these organic gems love to explore the often curious tastes in jewelry found in ancient times to the Victorian era, and even today. Pearls, Natural Beauties of the Gem World  A pearl is formed when an irritant, such as a grain of sand, lodges inside a mollusk, most often an oyster. To protect itself, the oyster secretes layers of a substance called nacre. Magically luminescent and a classic favorite. Spiny Oyster Jewelry  Spondylus is a genus of bivalve mollusks, the only genus in the family Spondylidae. As well as being the systematic name, Spondylus is the most often used common name for these animals, though they are also known as Thorny Oysters or Spiny Oysters. Jewelry collectors call them beautiful!
