THE PEARL IS TRANSFORM BY THE IRRITATIONS THAT ENTER THE SHELL.
THE FORMATION OF THE PEARL
Natural Pearls form when an irritant - usually a parasite and not the proverbial grain of sand - works its way into an oyster, mussel, or clam.
As a defense mechanism, a fluid is used to coat the irritant.
Layer upon layer of this coating, called 'nacre', is deposited until a lustrous pearl is formed.
