Sea Oysters and Pearls.

 How are sea oysters and pearls made? 

            Going to the beach, we see a variety of oysters.  Many oysters have such a nice color and shape that it makes sense to preserve them.  The inside of such an oyster is smooth and shiny with different colors.  Sometimes even two oysters joined face to face on the edge get Some conch shells are open, conical in shape and have circular figures from top to bottom.  Some oysters have a smooth surface while many have a decorated pattern.  Several colors in oysters;  Rice and dots are found.  

     How pearl is formed in oyster?

         We are naturally amazed at how such wonderful things can be created.  You know that there are many kinds of animals that live in the sea.  There are so many.  Boneless animals are also included.  Many such animals.  Are soft and fluffy.  Obviously such animals need strong homes to protect themselves and to live.  Finding such homes is not easy.  Thus some animals, such as oysters and caterpillars, form a strong shield around themselves.  This is a natural gift for them!  The oysters found on the shore are actually houses built for themselves by these gentle animals.  But not all animals have that power.  Population at sea.  Few of the many species of boneless animals formed such a shield can.  These animals do not build their own homes the way we do.  

Do you have to kill the oyster to get the pearl?

         Such an animal secretes a substance containing calcium carbonate (lime) from its body.  Its layer freezes around it.  Gradually it adds more and more such layers and the thickness of the shield increases.  As the animal grows older, it becomes more and more absorbed in such substances.  Which are monotonous and loose.  The new layer inside pushes the old layer out and thus the oyster grows in size.  Many of these animals have special glands in their skin that secrete pigments, making these layers beautiful colors.  

      The oysters made by many such animals are cone-shaped like pollen and elephant trunks;  But the  oyster has two halves attached to the edge.  The caterpillars also form a house with round numbers.  All these animals carry their own home with them!  They build these houses not for fun but for their own safety.  Sometimes you will see a lizard with an animal.  If you stumble upon it, it will immediately snag itself inside the oyster.

How rare is it to find a pearl in an oyster?

         Oysters are a type of animal that makes such oysters;  But such oysters do not make pearls.  Oysters used as food do not make pearls.  You may know that pearl oysters are called "Kalu fish".  Often a small particle of sand gets stuck between the oyster and the animal.  These particles constantly pierce black fish with a soft body.  This poor fish doesn't have a hand to throw it out.  So to solve this problem it secretes lime salts around these particles.  If the particle rotates like this, the layers around it form a perfect sphere, which is separated from the oyster.  These spheres are extremely smooth and shiny and are called natural pearls!  

           Pearl-seeking divers dive deep into the sea and bring with them thousands of oysters;  But only a few of them have pearls worth making ornaments. 

     The finest natural pearls are found in the seas of Sri Lanka and some other places;  But now pearls can also be made by shifting oysters, which originated in Japan.  For this, fish are collected in special ponds tomorrow and a grain of sand or any solid object is pushed into the oyster or into the skin of the animal so that pearls begin to form.  After two-three years, when these oysters are taken out and opened, pearls are found inside.  Obviously such pearls are much cheaper than natural pearls found by accident.  

      Also artificial pearls from hollow glass mercury is created. sometimes the wax is added to the mercury after it is opaque to the glitter found in the fish.Such synthetic pearls,Looks pretty good and gets a lot cheaper.  

          Did you know that some other marine animals also build their habitats and colonies using limestone?  Sometimes these settlements are so large that an island is formed in the sea!  Such islands are known as coral islands. 

          And yes, do you now think that the water droplets of Swati Nakshatra form pearls in oysters?  !
