| Hi All
I have just found this pearl forum and think it is great. I am interested in abalone mable pearls from New Zealand and was looking to buy one until I was told that the nacre had a minimum thickness of 0.15 mm. That seemed way too thin even for a minimum thickness. Could the pearl experts here please advise me what they think. The prices are somewhat steep for pearls with such mimimal nacre. Lustre relates to the amount of nacre so am I to assume that they don't have much lustre...your thoughts would be appreciated.
