PEARL DRAGON

A natural pearl (often called an Oriental pearl) forms when an irritant, such as a piece of sand, works its way into a particular species of oyster, mussel, or clam. As a defense mechanism, the mollusk secretes a fluid to coat the irritant. Layer upon layer of this coating is deposited on the irritant until a lustrous pearl is formed.

...CRystal makes no sense to have in a combination to make a pearl

EMERALD DRAGON- why crystal and linchen make sense because...

Emeralds are made by ... Most natural emeralds are made in geothermic phenomenons called hydrothermal veins. Hydrothermal veins are cracks in the rocks deep in the earth. As magma flows deep underneath the ground, super heated liquids migrate out from the magma and flow through the cracks in the rocks. These cracks become hydrothermal veins. With these super heated fluids also come mineral deposits that travel with the fluid until it has cooled enough to turn into a crystallized form. These deposits react with the minerals around them to form natural emeralds, as well as many other types of gems depending on the minerals involved.
