I am glad the article is well-received. Grahame Brown was the editor of the journal of the
Gemmological Association of Australia. I had corresponded with him quite a bit over the years. He was a great pearl expert and very passionate about pearls.

Great article, Jeremy. Have you seen the picture that Nerida posted in the "Some Giant Mutant Bead Nucleated CFWP" thread? I am curious to know what you think.

Nothing surprises me anymore with the CBSBs, although the triplet does not look beaded. I once saw Grace Pearl prepping their beaded baroque inventory for a show and saw every shape imaginable. They had such a large stock they were actually making pairs. The rounds are equally impressive but incredibly expensive.
