| Attached is a photo of what we think might be a conch pearl. It was entrusted to my friend while he was visiting Cocobila, on the Mosquito Coast of Honduras. The woman who gave it to him to sell inherited it from her grandfather - a boat captain who still dives for conch and lobster off the coast. The woman says that a Japanese conch pearl buyer offered her money but she refused his offer - saying it wasn’t enough. My friend showed it to a man here in Belize who buys conch pearls and was told it wasn’t one. What do you think? |
