Oyster secretion (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pearl

(Other definitions for pearl that I've seen before include "Smooth lustrous round structure of calcium carbonate" , "Gem; an attacked Harbor" , "Precious stone from shellfish" , "Object of great worth" , "Paragon" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
