The pearl is the symbol of beauty and purity, as well as honesty. It shows us the depths of our being. Anyone prepared to confront these depths and break through rigid thought patterns can grow and continue to devlopp as a result. It provides good protection against negative impressions.
Tarot interpretation: Defeat, loss, battle, meanness. Admitting errors.
