Seashell Supplies Philippines Rustic. Pyrum, commonly known as the Atlantic Pearl Oyster, is a species of bivalve mollusk found in the Atlantic Ocean. It is named for its pearlescent, smooth shell, which is generally oval or elongated in shape. The shell color can range from creamy white to light brown or gray, with occasional hints of pink or purple. Pyrum oysters are known for their lustrous nacre, which creates iridescent inner layers that are highly prized for jewelry and decorative purposes. These oysters are filter feeders, drawing in seawater and extracting nutrients as they filter out small particles. They are typically found in shallow coastal waters, often forming colonies or attaching themselves to rocky substrates. Pyrum oysters have both ecological and economic significance, contributing to marine biodiversity and serving as a valuable resource for the pearl and shell industries. Philippine Local Name: Pyrum.
