Why these stones suit Cancer
Pearl (Moti) — Moti
Pearl is nacre (calcium carbonate and conchiolin), an organic gem with a hardness of 2.5–4.5 on the Mohs scale, white and cream with rose, silver or golden overtones. In astrology it is linked with the Moon (Chandra) and recommended for Cancer (June birthstone). It is worn on the little finger of the right hand, set in silver, first worn on a Monday evening. Price is set by lustre (the sharpness of reflections), surface cleanliness, shape (round is rarest), size, nacre thickness and whether it is natural, cultured or imitation.
Moonstone — Sang-e-Mah / Chandrakant
Moonstone is orthoclase feldspar with a hardness of 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale, colourless to milky white with a floating blue or white sheen (adularescence). In astrology it is linked with the Moon and recommended for Cancer (June birthstone). It is worn on a pendant or a ring in silver, traditionally worn on a Monday. Price is set by the strength and colour of the sheen (blue sheen on a clear body is most prized), transparency, size and cut.

Does the gemstone have to be natural to work?
In every traditional system, yes: only a natural, untreated (or at most heated) stone is considered effective. Glass, synthetic and heavily treated stones are not used, which is why every GemStore.pk listing states the treatment and offers a lab report.
