I agree that Celestia likely was not referring to the pearl, but Twilight still seemed to invest too much value in it. There was no indication that the pearl might counteract the obsidian orbs, so all its utility was already well within Twilight's skillset.

And yes, the Storm King was lying... but was Tempest? She seemed to know more about the staff than the king himself. Tempest believed the staff could fix her horn, so it is puzzling that neither she nor anyone else decided to give it a go. The Storm King would not fix the horn. It was never stated that he could not.
