    if you could remove a pearl without killing an oyster

    This is actually doable. That is how the pearl farms sometimes work, you do not need to kill the oysters. They do intentionally create the pearls though, by inserting pearl cores in the oysters.

      *depending on where the pearl forms and how big it is

      Granted, that’s a lot easier to control within an oyster farm environment.
