Pearl has been traded longer than almost any other gem material. Archaeological records place pearl ornaments in Persian royal burials dating to the 5th century BCE, and Roman writers documented the stone’s extraordinary value — Pliny the Elder recorded that a single pearl earring worn by Cleopatra was worth the equivalent of entire regional estates. The pearl trade shaped early maritime routes across the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean for centuries before modern navigation existed. — Kunz, G.F., The Curious Lore of Precious Stones, J.B.
