PEARL
Name from the Latin word perula meaning pearl

Organic
mostly CaCo3 hardness 2.5-4.5 specific gravity 2.6-2.78

Color: A pearl has 2 colors: a body color and an overtone color in the sheen. Body colors are white, cream, any other delicate shade, black
Color depends on the mollusk and its environment.

Pearls grow inside the shells of mollusks (saltwater oysters and freshwater clams). When a tiny foreign object gets inside the shell, the mollusk coats it with layers of aragonite, or mother of pearl material. Eventually the pearl is formed.

Natural pearls are found by fishing for the mollusks. Salt water pearls are often called Oriental Pearls. Natural fresh water pearls were harvested in China before 1000 BC. They have been found in the rivers and streams of China, Bavaria, England, Ireland, and the Mississippi River in the USA.

Coquette with fish
What are cultured pearls? Some people use the term to distinguish between genuine pearls and imitation glass based pearls. Cultured means genuine pearls that are grown on pearl farms in either salt water or fresh water. A small sphere, usually mother of pearl, is implanted inside the mollusk. The pearl is formed in a short period of time.
The sizes and shapes of pearls are determined by sorting.
The shapes of fresh water pearls are given descriptive names such as potato, button, rice.
They may be natural colors or dyed.
Most pearls on the market today are cultured.
