| Hi!
Sounds interesting!
Now... 'Basra Pearls' are Gulf pearls... and various colors (deeper cream to 'golden', pink, peach.. dark ones) are possible although quite unusual. Also, the term is broadly used to mean natural (non-cultured) pearls from any source.
Whether this particular pear is a natural pearl from any location at all (not that it matters much), I am not sure. Possible, but... just can't tell from that picture! If anyone can... The color, the shape and the blemishes could well be a cultured pear of any type or an unusual natural one. The picture reminds me strongly of a ringed and crackled nucleated pearl, but I cannot say there's no chance this could be natural, because rings and cracks and knocks do happen on those too.
Basically, I couldn't think of anything better then getting a lab report.
My 2c. Hope more expert opinions are on their way. |
