Biwa Pearl

Composition  Although not a true mineral due to their organic nature, pearl formations are globular cysts of calcium carbonate contained inside the tissue of marine mollusks as a means of protection. Most pearls sold on the market today are produced artificially by injecting an irritant into the shell of a mollusc.

 

 

History

Biwa pearls are grown in Japan's Lake Biwa. Lake Biwa is the biggest lake in Japan, and is among the oldest in the globe. Pearls have been harvested from Lake Biwa for millennia, and cultured for over one hundred years.
