Black Pearls have a protective quality. They were worn by knights to protect them on the battlefield, and they were used medicinally, internally and externally, to cure everything.  They are magical.

































Black Pearl
by: Lisa G. Leming

This pearl is precious unto me
Though it is black as it can be
It is as perfect, smooth and round
As any white one to be found
There was a time I wished to be
As clear and full of purity
As crystal water from the well
Or a single, snowy pearl
But I took all my wishing back
The day I noticed that the black
Was neither from dirt nor dust of coal
But from the depths inside my soul
