Those in particular look like potato-ish low brow fwp to me. I like the light tinted salties wherever they come from, but the shape of those doesn't ring the bell at all [e.g. THESE do]. Of course, guessing by familiar shape is not something I'd swear on. It looks like there is some new nucleation technique coming out every day with its own quirky shapes, colors and textures.


On the side, as an example of quirks: just look what the cat brought in the other day on a FleaBay search; if there wasn't a look-alike example already in the drawer here, I wouldn't know they are pearl! (ok, they're weird, but lest for those huge peeled spots, I'd like that ominous blue color). How on earth do you get that out of a shell...
