Pearl is a pathological formation in pearl oyster, formed due to the entrance of a foreign particle into the gap between the body and the shell of the pearl oyster. The irritation caused by the foreign particle makes the oyster take out a secretion to cover the particle. This when dried, again creates irritation to the animal, so it covers it with its secretion again- the continuous process continues for 3 to 6 years to produce a precious pearl.
