Little is known about the famed pearl. Its existence is shrouded in myths. The creature definitions for the {{L|mussel}} and {{L|oyster}} indicate that they leave pearls, there is no known job for harvesting pearls. However, a order to "decorate items with pearl/ivory" can be issued from a {{L|Craftsdwarf's workshop}}. Caravans from other civilizations, however, have been reported to trade crafts made from pearl and items decorated with pearls.

Little is known about the famed pearl. Likely, Toady has not yet gotten around to fully implementing pearls yet. The creature definitions for the [[mussel]] and [[oyster]] include a [PEARL] token, but this token does not actually allow specifying what the pearls would be made of (not to mention the fact that said materials are not actually defined). If you create a material with the [PEARL] property and add it to a creature, though, its butchered remains should be usable at a [[Craftsdwarf's workshop]] (much like [[horn]] and [[ivory]]/[[tooth]]).

This article is about an older version of DF.

Little is known about the famed pearl. Likely, Toady has not yet gotten around to fully implementing pearls yet. The creature definitions for the mussel and oyster include a [PEARL] token, but this token does not actually allow specifying what the pearls would be made of (not to mention the fact that said materials are not actually defined). If you create a material with the [PEARL] property and add it to a creature, though, its butchered remains should be usable at a Craftsdwarf's workshop (much like horn and ivory/tooth).
