Now, looking on the page from Zeide's post, it reads:
"In the early 19th century the name PELEGRINA had been given to a spherical pearl with a weight of 111 1/2 grains."
I suppose that 'name game' might be the root of the confusion between the original drop and a round pearl. Tracking the impersonator would be quite a feat though. |
