In this episode of Getting Stoned, I have my friend, Gail, on and she shares the incredible story of how she scored a piece of Starship wreckage. Gail also shared her favorite gemstone with me and it was one that I don't know too much about. Pearls are something I have worked with, but only freshwater, low-grade pearls. However, pearls are very elegant and it is that which draws Gail and many others into the beauty of the pearl. 
One thing we talk about is the use of pearls in medicine which I looked into and found an article by Timeless Pearl. You can read that article here.
