Hi everyone,
I'm taking a minute after a great day in the Sea of Cortez to reflect on what I learned from the Gem Show in Tucson.
Lot's of things of course but one thing that really stood out was the natural pearl market. The hottest being the Conch (pronounced "Conk" I learned - thanks Sarah) pearls. Someone needs to write a screen play, Indiana Jones style about the people who risk their life and limb, traveling to far out places to hunt these rare gems.
I have been long entrenched in the idea that a pearl has to be pearly but I know now that it doesn't.
