Read a passage on how pearls are formed.
Pearl is the only birthstone made by living creatures
oysters and other shellfish. If a grain of sand finds its way
into an oyster's shell, the oyster covers the irritating art
with layers of shiny substance its body produces over
many years. Eventually the grain is encased, becoming a
pearl.
Till recently, this was a very arduous process as hundreds
of oysters were needed to retrieve even three or four
pearis. Moreover, to get pearls was a high-risk venture.
The fishermen would descend into the sea with the aid
of a rope to which was tied a large stone that dressed them rapidly to the bottom Hastly
they would fill the net with shells, and then tug the rope to give the signal for ascent Those
in the boat would pull them up. Half-suffocated, the diver would reach the surface. These
divers were often forced to descend to great depths, sometimes deeper than 30 metres, on a
single breath. This meant that, in order to survive, they had to grease their bodies to consene
heat and close their nostrils with clips. The efforts they made to suspend respiration were so
painful that sometimes blood would gush from their mouth and nose. Many divers would love
consciousness and drown. They also faced the danger of being attacked by hostile creatures
especially when they're in shark-infested waters.
Once the shells were acquired, they would be exposed to the sun until the animals were dead
Then they would rummage in the horrible, smelly pile to get the pearls. After this, there was
nothing more to do except pierce a hole in the pearl.
