No thanks. I'm not interested in conch. It appears they don't last well in sunlight.

I'm really looking for a black pearl of solid nacre that is as round as possible.

Can anyone recommend any other sources? Perhaps tissue cultured? I have high hopes for Doug's cortez accidentals, but I fear that if he only has 2 the chances of them being very round is small. I imagine that tissue cultured pearls would be rounder than true naturals.

Any experts care to comment?
