The Divine Birthstones: these birthstones are available out of some ascetic's
austere penance acquired from the divine power. We hear about many divine gems
in Mahabharat and mythological books, such as swamantak mani, kousthubh mani
etc. It is believed that during the influence of the constellation called Swati -- governed
by the Rahu - if the raindrops fall upon the oyster-shells, they turn into pearls after
some time. The showering raindrops get dry often in air and become another kind of
pearls called chintamani pearls. Varahamihira believed that there are some divine
gems or which drop from the sky like the hails, but the dames in the heaven take all
of them away before they actually land on earth
