Did You Know That Unwounded Oysters Do Not Produce A Pearl / Or Pears

"Did you know that an unwounded oyster does not produce pearls?

Pearls are a healed wound.

Pearls are a product of pain, the result of a foreign
or unwanted substance entering the oyster,
such as a parasite or a grain of sand.

The inside of an oyster shell is a shiny substance called nacar.

When a grain of sand enters, the nacar cells go to work
and cover the grain of sand with layers
and more layers to protect the defenseless body from the oyster.

As a result, a beautiful pearl is formed!

An oyster that has not been wounded in any way does not produce pearls,
because a pearl is a healed wound."
