Exploring an Underwater Shell Grotto
Deep beneath the waves, a mermaid kneels inside a peaceful sea grotto. Nearby, an open shell rests on the cavern floor, revealing a round pearl nestled within its interior. Surrounding rocks and sea shells shape this secluded underwater space.
How Natural Pearls Form
Natural pearls form inside mollusks when an irritant, such as a tiny grain of sand or parasite, slips inside the shell. To protect itself, the mollusk covers the object with layers of nacre, the same smooth material that lines the inside of its shell. Over several years, these hard mineral layers build up to create a lustrous pearl.
