THE SHELL A TRUE PEARL PRODUCER
In nature, the mussel is a true pearl producer. When a grain of sand slips between the mantle fabric and the shell, it is surrounded by mother of pearl. So she does nothing else but cover this intruder again and again with a wafer-thin layer of mother-of-pearl. This then turns into a beautiful precious pearl. Muna the mussel / shell / calm hides this treasure just for us.
