Soul

The world's largest natural pearl. This picture would be slightly more perfect if it wasn't for that zit! Imagine a pimple the size of that pearl. Nastiness!

This pearl was once owned by Napolean or Napolean II's wife. So I did a little searching to find out how pearls are formed. Let's say there's an oyster. The oyster consists of a shell and then inside is the meat. The shell is created by an organ called the mantle that uses nacre, which is basically from the nutrients the oyster intakes, to produce the shell. Let's say while the oyster is open some dirty stuff gets inside between mantle and shell. This irritates the oyster and causes the mantle to form nacre around the stuff. This then becomes a pearl. It's kind of funny that an object deemed to be a sign of purity and beauty actually forms from essentially junk that is not wanted, like the leftover greens stuck between your teeth, that left unpicked will end up rotting the cavity. Perhaps aliens who come to earth someday will think of our rotted teeth which is leftover after our bodies have decayed to be elegant and pretty pieces of jewelry? Actually it doesn't take aliens to think that, some people wear teeth already!

Have a new picture story but it's a short one.
