Baroque South Sea Tail Pearls... that is pretty funny. You should check out some other scammer's "suspended planting" pearls. They probably share pearl tales.

Sounds like the seller is feeding you a line. Those are bead-nuked freshwater and cannot be more than a couple years old. The technology is less than a decade old.
