How are synthetic pearls made?
Synthetic is not a term used to describe imitation pearls. Synthetic, in the case of gemstones, is completely manmade, and it has to have the same structure, constituents, and chemistry as its natural counterpart. No cultured pearl is completely manmade. There is always human intervention, but the mollusk grows the cultured pearl. Of cultured pearls, only tissue-nucleated and keshis have the same structure, constituents, and chemistry as their natural counterparts, but they result from human intervention. So when the two criteria that determine a synthetic gem are applied, there is no cultured pearl or imitation that meets both. Therefore, no cultured pearl or imitation is a synthetic.

Why is pearl not considered as a mineral?
A pearl is created by the oyster, a perfectly natural process and has been so since long before pearls were cultured. The oyster is trying to encapsulate an irritant, either a parasitic intruder (in the case of natural pearls, or a mother-of-pearl sphere inserted into the oyster's gonad (in the case of cultured pearls). The oyster 'cultures' the pearl by surrounding the irritant with CaCO3- heavy seawater until the calcium carbonate (limestone, chalk and seashell) condenses on it. If you have a wealthy Chemistry department, you can tease apart the regularly formed crystalline structure of the layers of calcium carbonate, or, to a jeweller, 'nacre'. The heart of a saltwater cultured pearl is a mother-of-pearl bead, but the deposit is completely regular layered scales of calcium carbonate. Therefore, yes, a pearl is most definitely a mineral, and also a semi-precious stone. ____________________________________________________________________ A pearl might have a mineral at it's heart, but the outside of a pearl is a hardened substance called nacre that the mollusk secretes around a parasite that invades the mantle tissue. Pearl is made of calcium carbonate with organic material (nacre) and water. A pearl is not mineral. The five characteristics a mineral must have is that it must be solid, it has to have a chemical composition, it has to be inorganic, and it has to be naturally made, also it has to have a definite crystalline structure. The pearl contains chemicals within it so it has a chemical composition. It is inorganic of course (it isn't made of any remains or organic substances). It is not naturally made, however, making it not a mineral. Another reason it isn't a mineral is because of its shape. Minerals must have a definite crystalline structure, but a pearl is round, marking off the structure it must have to qualify to be a mineral. It also is quite obviously solid.
