Pearls are valued as gemstones although they are not actually minerals, but organic gems. They are the result of a minute particle of foreign matter, such as a fine grain of sand, entering the shell of a mollusc and being coated with the same material that covers the inside of the shell (called nacre, or mother-of-pearl). Eventually the grain of sand is transformed into a pearl.  

Because the pearl is formed as the direct result of irritation, it is thought to hold the key to how we can overcome oppression and pain, an example of how to turn the insignificant into the sublime and beautiful. the pearl is thought to signify faith, charity and innocence and to enhance personal integrity.
