Small Pearl

A small pearl – Restore Stamina, Fortify One-handed, Fortify Restoration and Resist Frost.

Small Pearls are rare in the base game – there are no pearl oysters in mainland Skyrim, and the clams you find there don’t contain pearls. All four effects are positive, which makes them nice to have when you do find them.

  • Alchemy shops may sell them once you have the Speech perk Merchant or have invested in the shop.
  • Hearthfire homes with an alchemy lab and kitchen have some, and your adopted child's chest may hold one.
  • Dragonborn: harvest them from pearl oysters on Solstheim. Apothecary's satchels, high-level Falmer and mages sometimes carry them.
