Pears are also valued for their olor, but perhaps gems value them more for their natural qualities. Natural pearls are balck, but breeding can be done to produce white pearls, which are suymbols of purity. Perhaps pearl could be called "artificial" as a derogatory term for pearls, and have somewhat to do with why she is different o homeworld gems.
