Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (not in mine ! :D ).

Umm.... I still have my gall stone somewhere. It was over an inch in diameter..... But it was a lot uglier than that pearl.

Oh yeah - really ugly. Probably hurt me a lot more than that pearl hurt the clam, too.

I was going to point out the same thing. Pearl formation is excruciating for a mollusc, but most humans don't care.

Believe me, gall stones are excruciating as well.

But they don't last for years (I hope for you !)

Actually they did (last for years). It took a while to diagnose them. Periodic intense pain. The last time was 17 hours straight, and I thought I was going to die. (Think how long it takes to grow one an inch an a half in diameter (and "innumerable small ones" as it said on the report).
