| Hi Richard,
Yes, that is what iridescent means. Natural pearls have always been coveted for their iridescence but in modern perliculture that term has been hijacked to mean either mirror or overtone both often of the Monsanto kind. You should get your sample strand of pearls with full rainbow orient in, on, and around every pearl before the week is out. It is really something you must have seen once to recognize ever after. When you have seen the "teaching strand" you will understand. I had several people ask me whether they were opals before.
