In amongst some large pink baroque fresgwater pearls was this... one had a silvery "keshi" formed on it.
The pink baroque is 11.5mm x 11.5mm x 9.4mm thick.
Sorry I forgot the paper towel.

Hi Cathybear,

Lovely pink pearl with a lovely growth. Great look. I like unusual pearls and this qualifies Could make a great centre piece on a different, maybe smaller FW necklace or depending on where the other hole is maybe a great pendant. But great all the same. Similiar shape to Fireballs.

I wonder if anyone can tell you if it would have been nucleated or totally FW.

Bye for now, Bodecia

Meant to mention something. This pearl looks like a pink Ranchu or some other Fancy Goldfish instead it is a very fancy exotic pearl.

Love the fish, love the pearl.

Great pearl. Personally, I think it looks like a bunny rabbit. Especially in the second pic. Let us know what you do with it..

Cathybear: I love your sand pics. I wouldn't change them. I see a bunnyfish. But it sure is lovely.

That's a lovely pearl, Cathy.
I can see a bunny and Nemo.
Bet it'd look great mounted in gold and made up as a brooch, a la GemGeek's little bird.
