Who can say something about the meaning of pearls?

Pearl is the pearl liquid secreted by some shellfish in the ocean or fresh water, which is a cylinder formed by the friction stimulation of foreign objects entering (or artificially put) the body, and wraps the foreign objects layer by layer. Pearl has been loved and appreciated by people since ancient times because of its beautiful shape, charming color, soft luster, dazzling and elegant temperament, and has long been compared with precious stones. However, most gems and jade are nonmetallic single minerals or mineral aggregates, and pearls are not minerals. Therefore, in most gem works, Zhu Zhen is ranked last, interacting with a few non-mineral gems such as amber, coral and coal essence.
