Pearl
Formed from morning dew = clearest and most powerful.
Pearl is one of the stones catalogued by Marbodus of Rennes in his De Lapidibus (c.1067 AD), the medieval lapidary that synthesised classical and Christian traditions on the virtues of stones. Its colour: White/clear (morning dew), obscure (evening dew). Recorded origin: India, Great Britain; formed from heavenly dew received by oyster shells.
Marbodus reveals pearls are formed from heaven's own dew received by the earth — a literal physical crystallization of divine blessing. As such they carry inherent protection against the fallen, who cannot abide heaven's direct touch.
