Information about natural pearls

Pearls are formed from the secretion of mollusks, including: oysters inside their shells, which form hard balls, and pearls are classified as precious stones. Where this substance is secreted around a foreign body, whether it is parasites, sand or otherwise, in natural pearls a parasite is suspended inside the soft tissue of the oyster. It is held together by conchiolin (a hard, organic crustacean substance) so that its composition is similar to that of mother-of-pearl, which forms the inner layer of an oyster shell.

Pearls are formed in several shapes, some of them are spherical, or pear-shaped, and some are like a grain of rice or in the form of buttons, and some are irregular.
