Pearls are mainly found in pearl shellfish and mother-of-pearl mollusks.
Many people have not heard of conch pearls, in fact, many varieties of conch have the possibility of producing pearls, first introduce to you a few more famous conch pearls and their female snails.
One of the world's four famous snails, the Imperial Tang Crown Snail can reach 30 cm in length and height, and the shoulder of the snail has 5 to 7 horn-like protrusions, which are named because of the shape similar to the Tang Dynasty crown hat, which can produce the Imperial Tang Crown Snail Pearl (Cassis cornuta).

There are emperors naturally have queens, the queen phoenix snail is the queen of the conch, although the appearance is covered with crown-like bumps, the inside is a girlish pink, can produce the same pink queen phoenix snail pearl (Conch Pearl), also known as "Kong Ke Zhu".

The "carnivore" of the conch, the King of Heavenly Conch, is very fierce, can prey on other small conchs, and can also produce The King of Heavenly Conch Pearls (Triplofusus giganteus).

Conchs, oysters and other hard-shelled organisms, the surface of the flesh inside the shell has a layer of epidermal cells composed of special red blood cells, which can continuously secrete calcium carbonate to maintain the hardness of the shell.
But some parasites will enter the conch or oyster along the gap between the shell and the flesh, and then pass through this layer of epidermal cells only into their "flesh", and the unlucky insects will be wrapped in this magical layer of epidermal cells, which still maintain the characteristics of constantly secreting calcium carbonate and thus form pearls.
Therefore, the main ingredient of conch pearls is the same as oyster pearls, but it does not contain agaricity, so the hardness and toughness are slightly better than oyster pearls, but this calcium condensate is not considered pearls in the strict sense, nor does it have the texture of oyster pearls, but it is better than the number of rare.
In fact, natural oyster pearls are also very rare, and 10,000 oysters can only produce one natural pearl.
But oysters are "open" creatures, like large-mouthed sperm, which can be easily used, deceived, and implanted by humans to produce large, round artificial pearls.

The conch is more reserved, the shell structure is complex, not to mention, it is also very squeamish, it is easy to be killed by humans, which greatly improves the difficulty of cultivating artificial conch pearls. Moreover, these conchs are mostly key protected animals in various countries.
So we don't have a chance to have a natural pearl? In fact, we even have the opportunity to produce our own "pearls".
The world's most cattle human body "pearl"
In 2001, St. Maur Auction House in the Dutch capital auctioned a large pearl with a diameter of 4.2 centimeters for a high price of 351,000 guilders (about 1.27 million yuan), setting the highest price for a single pearl auction in the Netherlands at that time.
This oversized pearl is the "pearl" of the human body, which is rumored to have been a stone removed from a patient named Nariyi.
Stones are a common disease in humans. When the calcium that forms bones and teeth in the body runs to the organs that should not go, it is easy to form stone disease, mainly including kidney stones, bladder stones, gallstones, ureteral stones and so on.
In recent years, a young man named Davis in Australia has "produced" 11 silver human "pearls" the size of marbles from the gallbladder. The doctor who operated on him said he had never seen such a beautiful stone and advised him to go to a jeweler to identify it. After that, some people were willing to pay $120,000 (about 770,000 yuan) to buy Davis's human "pearls".
Not all stones deserve to be called human "pearls" because most stones are small and ugly. But because everyone's physical condition is different, some people's stones look beautiful. Professionals in the field of human special phenomena have identified bead-like stones with pearl luster as human "pearls".
According to statistics, the incidence of human "pearls" is only one in 80 million, and the discovery rate is only one in hundreds of millions. The human "pearls" found so far are very small, and the largest human "pearls" with a diameter of 4.5 centimeters were discovered in 1953 in the body of a Japanese patient named Michiko.
It is a pity that One Reader Jun could not find these jewelry-grade human body "pearl" pictures, so he used the domestic human body "pearl" pictures to compensate everyone, afraid of blood and slippery.

Human pearls formed by organ stones are too bloody, and in addition to organs, our joints can also produce "pearls". The picture below is a "pearl" taken from a patient's shoulder joint. ↓↓↓
This is a "pearl" taken from a patient's knee joint. ↓↓↓
These "pearls" from the joints originate from chondromatosis, which can make the patient's joints painful and make a "squeaking" sound when moving. The "pearls" produced from the human body are accompanied by pain, and there are also human "pearls" mixed with romance in pain.
In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is recorded that the tears of the fish people can become pearls, in fact, some human eyes can also grow "pearls".
One girl had a stinging eye at the corner of her eye, and her tears (the pink flesh at the front corner of her eye) were red and swollen and had a white spot. The girl had planned to go to the hospital for treatment, but as the pain intensified, she always poked this white spot with a slightly underserved hand. So in the pain and tears, a "pearl" the size of a grain of rice rolled out, and it also emitted the luster of a pearl.
The "pearl" in the picture is a physical object and has no effect
The pearl in the girl's eye is a "lacrimal sebaceous gland mass", which is caused by poor lifestyle habits (greasy diet, unclean eyes, etc.) resulting in obstruction of the mouth of the lacrimal gland. Self-squeezing is very easy to lead to infection, friends with similar symptoms must go to the hospital to get "pearls".
In addition, the tumor may also make you "transform into a fish person", a patient in Fuzhou has blue eye bags, and accompanied by a feeling of swelling and pain, the result is that 2 tumors and 4 "pearls" are taken out of the hospital on the news.
These human "pearls" are really good in color
Doctors deduced that these "pearls" were stones formed by tumors slowing down blood flow, resulting in precipitates of calcium and salts.
It can be seen that human beings still have great potential to produce "pearls". If your human "pearl" is worth a lot, would you like to become a producer of human "pearls"?
