matter in the shell of the oyster or the
mussel, and its formation Is supposed
to depend upon the creatures covering
the offending foreign substance with
the layer like secrctions which make
the substance and the beauty of the
pearl.
In at least one respect the pearl
stands alone In the category of precious
stones. AT the moment II il picked
