That is a natural, wild, SS pearl, not a cultured one. One without a dimple would be very rare indeed, but I understand that cultured SS pearls can have dimples too. Perfection, even in cultured pearls is very very rare, something like the top 1% of the top 1% of the harvest. In wild pearls it would be even less.
