The description of the pearl from various perspectives all serve to reinforce the idea that this pearl is very unique and valueable to everyone..for different reasons. For Kino it is a means to finally provide for his family and to keep them safe and healthy. For others, like the doctor, it is a means to untold wealth and power.
