| I would like to add that there is a way to test the nucleus without destroying the pearl, but it is still in its early stages.
Doctor Suzuki of Japan University along with The Camden Corporation applied for an International patent in September of last year for a machine they had developed which would identify the contents of a nucleus without damaging the pearl. One of the main intended usages of this machine is to put a stop to the illicit trade of the Tridacna nuclei.
