Cancer
Astrology, Cancer Horoscope and Cancer the Crab
Cancer the Crab is a constellation of the
Zodiac. Most prominent during spring in the Northern Hemisphere,
it is shaped like an inverted Y. The constellation contains
the famous open star cluster Praesepe, also known as M 44
or the Beehive, and Zeta Cancri, one of the most remarkable
of all multiple star systems, with its five stars in orbit
around one another. The tropic of Cancer (lat. 23 deg30' N)
was named after the constellation some 2,000 years ago because
at that time the Sun was in the constellation during the summer
solstice on June 22; because of precession of the equinoxes,
it has since been replaced during the solstice by Gemini.
Cancer
gemstone:
Pearl
The
pearl, a hard, round object valued as a gem, is produced as
an abnormal growth within the shells of certain bi-valve mollusks:
saltwater pearl oysters, saltwater and freshwater mussels,
and some species of clams and abalones. All these mollusks
have an inner layer of shell made of a lustrous material called
nacre, or “mother of pearl”. It is composed of
the mineral Aragonite and an organic, cartilaginous substance
called conchiolin. When a bit of foreign matter enters the
shell--a grain of sand, a parasite, an undeveloped egg--the
mollusk isolates it by gradually coating it with layers of
nacre as a natural defence mechanism. The process is slow;
it may take three years or more for a mature mollusk to produce
a pearl large enough to be commercially valuable. The pearl
is one of the few gems created by an organic process; the
others are amber, coral, and jet. In ancient culture pearls
have symbolized purity, uniqueness, and sublime beauty.
