For Ark: Survival Ascended!

Angler fish + south & east side of the ocean I’ve had best luck obtaining decent amounts, it’s all scattered so no big pods/groups.

Ocean caves also have a good bunch! Make sure to bring a sickle as there’s tons (TONS) of grass/fiber that you have to harvest before you get the silica. Hope this help!

Above the dwarven statue on fjord is a lake in there are butt tons of silica pearls

go to the snow island at 30 lat, 10 lon. There are tons of trilobites which drop silica pearls and black pearls. white and blue rocks in the water (not the white and black oil rocks) can also give you silica pearls. you also need silica pearls for yuty saddles for bosses. Hoped this helped!

Don’t even look at this if you play ark mobile

At roughly 39 59 on crystal isles you'll find thousands of them all clustered together.

On The Island, Silica Pearls can be easily found in the top left corner of the map (about 30 lat, 10 lon) they're seen as large white and blue stones in the water.

also put fur on cause its in an arctic zone, funny story on how i almost died in one of the stupidest ways possible

On Crystal Isles, at about 42 40 there is a little white lake. There is a waterfall in the lake, and on either sides close to the waterfall are around 1000 silica pearls, + the ones in the beaver dams. Just be careful because in my case there was a Yuty pretty close by.

Beaver dams also have a chance to give silica pearls too.

If you are on the island with hydrophobia go to the arctic. It has close-to-shore lakes with silica pearls in it I got my chemistry bench and haven’t been near the deep ocean

On the island got to the south shore of herbivore island. I got around 600 in one trip
