A Sea Turtle Exploring an Open Pearl Shell

This underwater scene portrays a young sea turtle swimming close to a wide-open mollusk shell that holds a round pearl. Soft, swaying sea anemones root themselves nearby, creating a protected marine environment on the ocean floor.

How Pearls and Sea Anemones Form Underwater

Natural pearls are formed inside oysters and clams when an irritant, such as a tiny grain of sand, gets trapped inside the shell. The mollusk coats the intruder with smooth layers of nacre over several years until a lustrous gem develops.
