| Hi Goldnugget,
Certainly it can be a natural. Is that a tiny drill hole on the top? It can be an estuary pearl. They come from Bangladesh and can be bought($$$) in Dhaka from reputable sources. They are formed in an environment that bathes the mollusc continuously with 6 hrs of salt water, then 6 hrs of freshwater. The colour would match an estuary pearl also. They are considered freshwater pearls although they are both fresh/salt water and are expensive. If yours is truely an estuary pearl, it has the prefered colour of golden pink. These pearls command high prices in India where there is a collector market for them.
