Pearls are formed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhen an external irritant, like a grain of sand, breaches the shell of an oyster or shelled mollusk. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce this irritant has gained entrance within the dark fleshy confines of the oyster, it goes to work \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprotecting itself. If this irritant can’t be expelled, it begins to ‘bandage’ the grain, coating it with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003econcentric rings of calcium carbonate, named ‘narce.’ Each layer that is built up forms the shape of t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehe pearl, awash in a brilliant iridescence, a beauty born of a tiny trespass. Thusly, a pearl has at its \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecenter, the object of its creation, a foreign intruder.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI associate the pearl and its strange construction to so many things: the jellied caterpillar struggling \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewithin a chrysalis, its liquefied body form a new winged shape. An embedded star smoldering within \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe shell of our hearts. An ink dot, a pin prick, a moon in miniature. History, who has always loved \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand revered the pearl, writes that we once believed pearls were the result of lightning striking the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshell and penetrating the inner skins of the oyster. A small beauty made in duress, a ‘stone’ of initiation.
