Here are some tridacna pearls from TKStern
the text is his too. Quote: This giant clam comes from the South China Sea off Borneo. According to legend, a person who owns such a "King" shell should hide it under the bed of his hut, for it will attract wealth and luck. From the same diver, I also bought 11 round objects up to 56 carats that he claimed to be pearls from the same type of clam. To me, they look like glass, but the shape intrigued me as similar to conch pearls, but larger. Photos to follow. I'll have them tested at GIA.
