those who think this is a pearl: consider the fact pearl's are known as being weak, frail gems meant to entertain those of high status in gem society. from what i can tell the corruption is incredibly stealthy + has great durability as well as indurance!

the gem cut might fit the bill, but i think the theory that this may be a corrupted pearl is wrong. a more suitable gem would be Apatite; the plant the design is based off of is native to africa as well is the gem apatite- plus the vibrant colors are a nice match. i also think it fits because of how the head resembles one giant mouth lmao

the main issue with this though is that there aren't any apatite cuts which i have found that match the corruption's! if not apatite, i think Turquoise  would suit it much better ^^ in fact, half way while typing this comment, i found that turquoise is actually the more likely of the two ^^;;
