She looked where he was pointing and slowly walked over.

"Open one and see," Cillian Forrest said, tilting his chin toward her.

The surface of the pearl shimmered with rainbow light. It was stunningly beautiful.
Amazement flashed in Sophie Wexler's eyes. She looked at Cillian Forrest, her gaze filled with astonishment. "What is this?"
Cillian Forrest was also taken aback for a moment when he saw what was inside. "A Mermaid Pearl," he said slowly.
