That necklace was so pretty.
Honestly if someone finds a replica pls comment under this!
I had it custom made for my fiancé
omar sk How much did it cost?
Jesse G I can make you one
If the pearl is natural/uncultured and it shped perfectly round symetrical. Not baroque (asymmetic) it will be cost from $ 20,000-1M depends its size and most important, luster.
I love the way the speaker speaks. sounds like Galadriel explaining nature. Lotr geek here
What are the prices of Mallorca pearls
I hear it!
I have had the same impression 😆
Australian accent - actress who played Galadriel was Australian - fun fact.
Chryslaire Medina I thought the exact same thing!!
Eat the oyster’s ‘tongue’, sell the pearl, ornate the shells... this creature is generous as heck
Generous? They're not giving, they're exploited and robbed. Yet another example of human greed for something no one needs.
@@barbarascotto3873 except we don’t, if I were to label Human’s greedy and I have to live with that label I’m okay with it. Earlier in their life we’d just eat them and throw the rest. The circle of life must continue; it’s great that we have found more use and create less waste, definitely and advancement that can be celebrated compared to previous generation, and now that we have a more humane way to extract the pearl it’s definitely awesome. The mollusks have no need for the pearl, so at least we’re not killing them for now-
@@primej485 you've missed my point entirely. Just leave them alone. No one needs to eat oysters and no one needs pearls.
@@barbarascotto3873 can’t leave a point without alternatives now don’t we?
@@barbarascotto3873 Whining about unfeeling invertebrates being exploited 🤡.
So, how can I get my snail to make a pearl?
Ask spongebob mate
I have never seen a comment below a comment get so many likes
Estefany Hernandez A comment below a comment is called a reply. :)
MrPeabody I know 😂😂😂😂
Only marine snails
This was amazing. Whoever produced this did an incredible job !!
I like turtles
Produced the pearl, or the video?
U should praise the oysters, they made the pearls before people killed them
Value the producer, not the product - VALUE LIFE!
You should praise the diamonds
I'm just a pearl.
I'm useless on my own.

Wall-e hehe ur a fan aren't u?
Pearl: ROOOOOOOOOOOOOSE
Knew it. SU FANS UNITE!
I got a beautiful pearl out of a green lip abalone yesterday. I have gotten so many over the years from them. Every time we process them we find some. And it had a perfect hole bored in the middle from where a worm or something started the process. It's amazing.
A gift
You're so lucky. I love pearls.
The narrator's voice is so soothing and also the breath taking views in the video.. make me feel calm and peaceful 💖
Yes AUDIOBOOK OPTION SOUND PLEASE!!!!
so its the pimple of a oyster
Actually, since a pearl is created to soothe the creature against uncomfortable grit, they're more like a scar than a gall or kidney stone
Kind of more like a callous or corn...
If it forms "inside" the meaty tissue of the Oyster then it is a pearl ...but if it forms on the inside surface of the Mollusk it then referred to as a Blister pearl
@Damian Lopez why did you need to insult her like that, you could've just corrected her nicely.
Lol
This is the first time I clicked on a natgeowild video so fast
Yes

Udhdjdjdj

I was studying the Bible and looking up commentary and found this, which led me to look up about pearl oysters.
“I would, my brothers and sisters, that we could all imitate the pearl oyster. A hurtful particle intrudes itself into its shell, and this vexes and grieves it. It cannot eject the evil, and what does it do but cover it with a precious substance extracted out of its own life, by which it turns the intruder into a pearl. Oh, that we could do so with the provocations we receive from our fellow Christians, so that pearls of patience, gentleness, long-suffering, and forgiveness might be bred within us by that which has harmed us.” (Spurgeon)
I would go even further and say, “Oh, that we could do so with the provocations we receive from fellow human beings, so that pearls of patience, gentleness, long-suffering, and forgiveness might be bred within us by that which has harmed us.”
Yeah but we aren't pearl oysters.
So beautiful thank you for sharing
@@Devilcakes it is an analogy. Humans don't produce pearls, but we can take something harmful to us and transform our suffering into something good to ourselves and others
@@Devilcakes you figure that out by yourself, smart guy? It's called an analogy, chief. Surely you've heard of it..

“The truth in every myth is the pearl in every oyster.”
― J. Earp
So many questions left. How do people know if a pearl is growing inside or do they? If you knew, you could guard them and let them grow larger.
Pearls r formed inside the oyster or other mollusc. When any foreign particles inclining sand or some enemy enters inside d animal body, they start secreting a gel like substance n cover that foreign particles. Then later they start secreting a crystalline substance which mainly composed of calcium. When it cover many layers over then after a period of time it becomes pearl.
@@sheetaltyagi4130 The above person to you is NOT ASKING the process of formation. They are asking HOW DOES one know if its growing or not. if it is growing, how is it protected. Your comment and contribution was useless sheetal
@@rajatbhat7799 its ok u tell the correct answer
@@sheetaltyagi4130 Don’t worry about them. I found your information to be very educational and I appreciate it. ^^
@@bluewill0 thanks alot for ur support

Imagine how many pearls is just laying at the bottom of the ocean and sand 🌱❤️
Pearls reflect the beauty of endurance...a precious value...
I love them all ! all shapes and colors and types! Wonderful gift are pearls .
This is such a beautiful documentary. I keep coming back to it!
Do u know the voice over artist ?
so the pearls aren't made in the kindergartens?
Neongreenlemon V . 0 they are made in space, the ones made in the kindergarten's are like amethyst
Earth Pearls aren't. Pearls from Homeworld are.
Pearls don't grow in the ground, so I guess Homeworld makes them with captured organic organisms, or mechanincally, if that's possible.
Neongreenlemon V . 0
The Nacre gems nurse them...?
Nah, the Pearl are made in oysters put there by Nacres.
No there made on homeworld
Funny thing is, when I finished this video, I got a video in my recommended about diamonds.
Pearls and diamonds 😏
* salty pearl sounds. *
I can sleep peacefully in her voice
i love the amount of steven universe jokes
Pearl: *I aM a PeArL!*
*and If you think im not ill always find a way*
Also pearl: I'm useless of my own
Good. Now lets go and kill all 10.000 Oyster for a one single fucking perfectly shaped pearl!
Australia has really regulated pearl fishing so most of the ones found in jewellery are artificially produced
Kaan Yıldırım that type of sea life don't really matter though. They don't feel anything
Austkrr b They're still important to their ecosystems, plus the way they are farmed can be pretty destructive
Thanks for speaking out my feelings. We humans won't spare anyone
Oysters don't die when the pearl is extracted. Unless someone f***s up
One of the most valuable gems known to womankind
I think women would prefer this kind of pearl than the ones made by humans.
Dude watching this while I'm high n it's wild af

Her voice is so soothing!😍

0:20 Settled? You make it sound so peaceful.
I was about to say. Are we going to ignore the thousands of years of Aboriginal History? Europeans did not “settle” the continent. They colonized it. Surprised NatGeo is able to be be a respected publication and still be ignorant.
@@Raycia92 ikr
The croc at 0:29 is basically me getting out of bed
Something scares me about assigning monetary value to a species. Seems like I sure fire way to make something go extinct in the age of humans.
like rhinos and ivory
Oh, don't worry. Clams, unlike rhinos, are very easy to farm.
We do the same thing to pets and livestock.
@@nothinggrand3805 yes sir
Croc at the beginning just like, "Don't mind me. Just trying to be a slippery snake."
Stepmother : Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all.
Mirror: pearl
The narrator was absolutely wonderful! I was entranced!
Ah, two cartoon characters from two of my favorite shows mentioned in one video which has nothing to do with cartoons. ^^
The narrator's voice and articulation makes this video 100 times sexier.
Show this documentary to Pearl.
Kevin Ha she'll freak out XD
Kevin Ha if pearls are borned out of cloysters, that means there must be organic life in homeworld or the gems colonies
I imagine that Pearl would be fascinated to see how Earthly pearls are formed.
Kevin Ha
Pre-rebellion Pearl: "Where do pearls come from??"
Diamonds: "Well, when an oyster and a very tiny organism..."
Kevin Ha
But not to Mr. Krabs.
My gosh the necklace 😍💕

Mis Fortune you forgot a "isn't it" at the beggining and "won" not "one"
i sang the last part of the song
or what we called "ending"
The narration is so soothing and calming ...
I should've expected all the Steven Universe references
People want to ban the algorithm, but YOU ARE THE ALGORITHM. It is reflecting what you seek! Seek different pieces of information and it will bring it to you.
This is on both sides. Don’t assume that you are the moral high ground - truly listen to the other side and try to understand where they are coming from.
God's creation, God is Perfect
Oysters - Make a mineral ball to protect themselves.
Humans - Alright Alright Alright, time to make some money off these things.

Col. I love learning about animals
Yes
There's something weird about this video. The 3 largest pearls (wild) ever found have ALL been from the same region, South China Sea, but not Australia. Found in the centre of the centre for the world's marine biodiversity region. Palawan, Philippines. The largest of the 3 is 34kg, yes that's right.
That's largest but not perfect round.
Actually, they did not mention the region that has the largest pearls but the sort of creatures which creates them. The south sea creatures precisely.
A three-step program for making a pearl. 1) salt 2) tears 3) singing
Nature is beautiful and fascinating
Her narration gave me chills
Me to myself: hmmm idk why i wanna click on this but pearls are involved so why not.
Also me to myself: i wonder how many steven universe fans are in the comments below. "Let's find out...a one a two a three..."
i loved the narrator omg eargasmsss
They are made in Homeworld

So basically you guys don't know how they're formed either..
The narration is exquisite
Wished the video was longer. Loved it
i actually almost fell asleep listening to this. Very calming. you go asmr
0:30 please let this area remain uninhabited forever 🙀🙏🙏🙏🙏
Uninhabited, please.
@@Devilcakes yikes, it appears that past me directly translated "inhabitado", which in Spanish means uninhabited lol
So you are telling me that Nat Geo cannot explain how a pearl is made? “Another possibility” Some tiny organism” I guess we’ll never know.
I'm not even a girl and I want a pearl now.
Micheal L lol You don’t need to be a girl to want a pearl.
lmao what
?

Lol everyone can have a pearl
That narrator's voice was so good,so relaxing.
1:49
Diamonds: *triggered*
*insert Yellow Diamond face meme*
😂😂😂
Palkia would be proud.
Pearl:hold my salt

What about Amethyst? Steven and Garnet?
"Steven" Is not a gemstone.
Well I know how Steven is made...
We know how Amethyst was made, and Garnet is a fusion, so she was "made" by Sapphire and Ruby.

Oh please, we all know that pearls are just weak servants
@Damian Lopez steven universe my dude
@Damian Lopez heh funny that u mention aliens, gemstones are considered aliens on the show steven universe
@Damian Lopez steven universe is a cartoon! In the show Diamonds are considered the highest authority! And pearls are their servants! That's what tyler was referring to haha, that's why there's a lot of weird comments that are referring to the show
So in conclusion, they DON'T know how a pearl is formed. Lol.
never been this early
Yes
never been this late
so apparently ive had this question before, i now have it again.. gotta stop smokin lol
“uninhabited”
2 secs later:
“the ocean teems with life”
it is implied that it is uninhabited by humans
