Basra pearls are a kind of natural gems that originate in the Persian Gulf in the Middle East. Physically are much lighter than other natural variants. They also boast of a unique light scattering effect that most other pearls don’t possess. Most Basra pearls are oddly shaped.
Have been highly prized for centuries—its uses date back to almost 300 BC. In fact, the Basra pearl’s purity and colour was compared to the moon. Owing to its rarity, even spotting a Basra pearl was considered a good fortune.
