The origin of the iridescent pearl is organic, it was formed in the pearl oyster. The penetration of a foreign body into a mussel irritates its mantle cavity, and the animal secretes calcium carbonate as well as the secretion itself. The combination of these two ingredients creates a layer of nacre. It takes several years for a pearl to form inside the shell.
There are both freshwater pearls, grown mostly in China, and saltwater pearls grown in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean off the coast of Australia, as well as in Japan, Fiji, Tahiti and Indonesia. "Fulred" is the key word, as most pearls today are cultured. This means: to stimulate the release of the nacre-forming secretion, a bead is inserted into the mollusk. Cultured pearls are spherical, whereas natural pearls are more irregular in shape and very rare. The only way to know if a pearl is natural is to see it through x-rays - in an artificial pearl, a bead will be visible under the nacre layer.
In healing, pearls have a gentle energy that symbolizes the Moon and its influence on the internal cycles of the body.
