New pearl Museum opens in RAK

In this summary, I will write about pearls and the pearl museum. In the past the life was hard so the people were working to get something to live. The most dangerous job was diving to try to get pearls. The divers used many tools in their journey such as ‘Al Kabt (  finger gloves), nose clips and white cotton diver suits. Also, they had rubbed oil all over their bodies to protect their bodies form illness, blindness and deafness.’’ Who doesn’t have the past, doesn’t have the future’’ said Sheikh Zayed. Form this idiom we have to keep our job and tradition as before.

There are many types of pearl. For example, Bint Al Matar daughter of the rain. The second type is called Bint Al Qamar which means daughter of moon. Recently the pearl Museume opened in RAK, where you can see the precious pearls in different shapes, sizes and colours. RAK was the capital of pearl trading. In 1930,the pearling industry came down because of the Japanese invention of cultured pearl. This fate did not stop Emirati women using natural pearls and they have many names, such as Dana, Hessa and Moza.

On the second floor, there are the most famous pearls around the world. There is some information showing us how to distinguish natural and cultured pearl. There are small and large, white, beige and black. China and Japan have 95%of the world total production of freshwater pearls.
