No. A grain of sand will never create a pearl. This is a myth that has been proven to be false. In order to determine whether a pearl is natural or cultured, it must be examined with an X-ray. No grain of sand has ever been found inside of a pearl.

Pearls grow in pearl-producing mollusks. Natural pearls occur when a mollusk's mantle tissue becomes damaged either by parasitic intrusion or damage to the shell.

If these cells become dislodged when the mantle is damaged, they may continue to deposit nacre within the body of the mollusk, creating a pearl.A grain of sand neverproduces a pearl.
