In Ark Valguero, you can find and farm two types of Pearls: Black Pearls and Silica Pearls. Both types of pearls are used across several different crafting recipes and both of them are equally as difficult to find.
Silica Pearls are most commonly found along and in water bodies. They appear as white spherical objects that can be harvested with pick axes and other melee tools. You can also acquire this item from Beaver Dams and kill dinos like Plesiosaurs, Mosasaurs, or Angler Fish. Black Pearls appear darker than silica pearls and are also commonly located around and in bodies of water. You can acquire this pearl from an Alpha Mosasaur, Alpha Tusos, normal Tusos, and Trilobites.
