The more I think aboout it, the more likely it is that pearl will be crystal + rust. This would explain why the copper was introduced, for its long incubation combined with its 'common' status would mean that together the crystal and copper fails will hog up a lot of time and entice paying players into pouring money into the game. Plus, pearls can be found inside rusted, sunkern ships.
