<span>A pearl is not a mineral because it is created artificially. It is a gemstone, not a mineral because it is a composite of mineral Aragonite and a protein compound which is called conchiolin. Pearls are formed by organic and living organisms which is preserved to become a gemstone.</span>

No. Pearl is an organic substance

Pearl is an organic gemstone. It is a reaction to an irritant within a living pearl-producing mollusk. Mollusks have a soft body often protected by a shell such as calm, mussel, and oyster. Pearls are actually formed when the mollusk produce thousands of nacre. Pearls are commonly used in the jewellery industry.

Answer:

Two Dutch spectacle-makers and father-and-son team, Hans and Zacharias Janssen, create the first microscope in 1590.

Explanation:

A microscope is an instrument that makes an enlarged image of a small object, thus revealing details too small to be seen by the unaided eye. The most familiar kind of microscope is the optical microscope, which uses visible light focused through lenses. Eeuwenhoek observed animal and plant tissue, human sperm and blood cells, minerals, fossils, and many other things that had never been seen before on a microscopic scale. He presented his findings to the Royal Society in London, where Robert Hooke was also making remarkable discoveries with a microscope.
