If you look around on eBay, you can find others similar. I'll admit that I get the different species confused, and I don't know if everything labeled "Tridacna" is from T. gigas. What I don't understand is, if the species is protected, why are the beads so cheap? What species are the mother-of-pearl nuclei that are used for South Sea Pearls? Are they more or less expensive for the pearl farmers than the Giant Clam nuclei?

Are these Tridacna beads without any nacre or what?
