Hi Martinez,

If you do find a Pinctada imbricata or Pteria colymbus Pearl bed please inform us all! Been trying to find one in the Gulf of México and Mexican Caribbean region to no avail.

Back in 1994 there was a US prospection team in Isla Margarita (Margaratronics Inc. was the company's name, I think...) trying to localize some natural pearl beds. A researcher by the last name of Borrero (from Colombia) had found some small beds of both species.

Happy Hunting!
