Pearls are organic gemstones that are
formed by shelled molluscs; mainly bivalved oysters and mussels. Pearls are
made up of nacre (mother-of-pearl) which is mostly aragonite (calcium
carbonate) and conchiolin. The aragonite microcrystals build up around an
irritant. The name "pearl" is said to have originated from the Middle
English word "perle", which in turn came from the Latin word
"perna", meaning "leg", thought to be due to the ham-leg
shape of the bivalve mollusc.
