The video explains the uniqueness of pearls compared to other gemstones. Unlike gemstones formed by geological processes, pearls are created by oysters in the ocean. When a foreign object gets trapped in an oyster's shell, it coats it with nacre, forming a pearl. Pearls vary in size, shape, and color and are rare because not all oysters produce them.
