The greatest treasure ever discovered in the ocean wasn’t found in a pirate’s treasure chest. The most dazzling gem ever found in the sea was made right there, beneath the waves. Pearls are created when a tiny bit of sand gets stuck in an oyster’s shell. It irritates the oyster, who then produces a nacre to coat the irritant. Layer after layer of nacre builds up, creating a larger and larger pearl over time. Pearls are unique among gems because they develop underwater instead of in the earth.
