Edible Pearl Powder, the Calcium Supplement

Natural Pearls (No Human Intervention)

Natural pearls produced when the shell of a mollusk invaded by an intruder, most often a tedious parasite. The intruder makes its way into the mantle tissue of the mollusk. This tissue has unique nacre-secreting cells known as epithelial cells. These cells form a sac around the intruder (pearl sac) and begin depositing a calcium carbonate substance known as nacre. Nacre is the building block of pearls.

 

Cultured Pearls (Human Intervention)

Cultured pearls produced in both saltwater mollusks and freshwater mussels. The process involves coaxing open the shell, and in the case of saltwater mollusks, making a small incision on the reproductive organ and inserting into this incision a rounded bead made of freshwater mussel shell and a small piece of mantle tissue from a donor mollusk. The same process of natural pearl production then takes place.

In the case of cultured freshwater pearl production, incisions made to the mantle organ of the mussel, and insert a small piece of donor mantle tissue. This followed by the same process of natural pearl production.

Edible oyster does not produce pearl and the title "pearl oyster" is a misnomer. The correct technical name would be pearl mollusk.
