the only thing I can think of is that Ebonite has pearl in it deep down in the cover and the outer surface is a clear solid type cover,perhaps for shelf appeal because it has a pearl look to it.the hammer sauce looks like a pearl also and that's a heavy oil ball,works for me as long as I get the desired reaction from it I'm happy.I get to try mine out tomorrow.
