Argghhhhhhhhh........MY EYES, MY EYES! Quick, where's the holy water!! Okay, that's better.

Caitlin, the "person" said they were SSs??? Here's the story the "person" told me:

"The peach necklace is also from that research station(Heilongjiang*) but it is transgrafted from Burmese rose-golden pinctada maximas. "

So you see, according to the "person", it is a half breed.

* Northern Chinese pearl research project that the "person" funded. No trace of it now because apperently frankenfish ate all the mussels and the perliculture students abandoned it. Another similar personally funded project was to be revived in Mongolia somewhere.

(I think I need another splash of holy water)
