| You know, Carol, I'm thinking about the whole size and natural pearls thing, and it seems to me that a lot of the natural pearls found by divers would have been quite small.
After all there are natural predators that eat shellfish so for a pearl to grow large, the shell would have had to survive a long time in the wild and not get eaten!
So there must have been an awful lot of seed size natural pearls. It isn't really that hard to believe that these could be natural. |
