The Pearl of Wisdom was clutched in the grasp of the Venerable One.
On the planet of Er'stacia, the Er'stacians held the Pearl of Wisdom in high regard as a sacred artifact. The Venerable One, also known as the Megalith, which was a massive statue representing their ancient ancestor, was believed to be the holder of this Pearl within its singular, clawed hand. When Jedi Master Mace Windu proposed bisecting the statue as a means to quell an ongoing clan war, both of the rival clans were in agreement that such a solution was untenable, because each clan would inevitably vie for possession of the Pearl of Wisdom.
