Most gemstones are formed from inorganic substances, but a number of gemstones are from organic sources, that is from living things, either plants or animals. Natural or Real Pearls are formed in shellfish - mussels, but mostly from Oysters. Pearls are formed naturally by the oyster when a foreign object enters the shell and causes irritation to its soft tissue. The oyster forms a secretion around the object as a form of protection. The foreign object can be a number of different things including a grain of sand or a parasite. In time the coating builds up in irridescent layers. Pearls can be almost any shape, but round ones are generally more desirable.One oyster can produce two to three pearls in its lifetime Cultured pearls are produced by artificially introducing a foreign object into the fleshy part of oysters, which become coated in layers of aragonite, known as nacre, which is secreted around the irritant and gradually build up to form the solid pearl, in a similar manner to natural pearls. In a "nucleated" cultured pearl a small bead is normally used as the nucleus upon which the layers of nacre are secreted. Imitation pearls are also made in various ways. Imitation pearls, usually called simulated or synthetic pearls have been produced for many years. They can be made with a plastic core or of mother of pearl, coated with a layer containing fish scales which give the irridescent effect. Light reflecting from these overlapping layers of nacre produces a characteristic iridescent luster, also known as the "orient of pearl. In a "nucleated" cultured pearl a small bead is used as the nucleus upon which the layers of nacre are secreted. Pearls vary in color form white, or white with a hint of color (often pink) to brown or black, depending on the type of mollusk and the water. They are sensitive to acids, dryness, and humidity. Natural pearls have been harvested from the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Manaar (Indian Ocean), and the Red Sea for thousands of years. The coasts of Polynesia and Australia produce mainly cultured pearls. Both freshwater and saltwater pearls are cultivated in Japan and China. Freshwater pearls occur in the rivers of Scotland, Ireland, France, Austria, Germany, and the USA (Mississippi) Pearls were once thought to be the tears of the gods. A pearl water tonic can be made to increase vitality, relieve eye strain, and soothe burning urination: place several small pearls in water overnight and drink the following day.
