Hi all,

I was re-reading the topic recently, and I have a couple of questions:

Is the pearl from the Gulf of Mexico or from Baja California (Sea of Cortez/Gulf of California)?

What species is the pearl from? Pinctada mazatlanica, Pteria sterna? What are the differences between the two species, and the differences between the two kinds of pearls, are the two species found on both coasts of Mexico? pearls from P. mazatlanica seem to be of lighter complexion.
