Congratulations, Terry! You have uncovered a source of the fabled faux faux Lop Noors! Well, if anyone could do it, it would be you....!


(For beginners: Faux faux Lop Noors are cultured freshwater pearls processed to look like the original "natural red" freshwaters from the Lop Nur moving lake region. Since the original natural Lop Noors are a fable (thus fake or faux) to begin with, the cultured Chinese freshwater copies are known as faux, faux Lop Noors..........)


All joking aside, those are outstanding pearls of captivating beauty and rarely seen so round in such a lush color of "Lop Noor" red! I hope they catch on like chocolate colored pearls have.
