pink pearl

Classic rectangular eraser

Pink pearl is a type of eraser, typically pink or pinkish-tan, made from soft, crumbly rubber.

The name comes from the Paper Mate brand's iconic eraser, which became so common in American schools and offices that "pink pearl" now generically describes any eraser of this style: I need a pink pearl for my pencil sketches.
