Before oil was discovered beneath the Gulf, the sea floor was its economy. For centuries, divers along the Arabian coast descended without equipment to collect oysters by hand — a trade documented by Ibn Battuta in the 14th century and later by Portuguese navigators who found entire coastal towns built around the pearl harvest. The shell came up with the pearl, and nothing was discarded. Mother of Pearl lined the interiors of the finest objects made in the region — inlaid into furniture, instruments, and jewelry traded as far as India and East Africa. The industry sustained generations before it ended almost overnight. — Kunz, G.F., The Curious Lore of Precious Stones, J.B. Lippincott, 1913
