It is worth a lot, and everyone is thinking of how they want to use it. They are only thinking about themselves, which can show both greed and selfishness. Also, when Kino progresses through the novel, he becomes more and more like an animal, which shows how the greed of the pearl is effecting Kino negatively.

This shows that he is greedy with the pearl's fortunes, and he wants this pearl to bring him hopes. He so strongly believes this, so eventually it brings destruction. Kino focuses on the pearl, and this leads to the death of his child, Coyotito.

Also, Kino begins to think more about himself and the money he can receive for the pearl instead of the entire family. This is breaking the family apart.
