| Wow. Ocean oysters are oval... Farmers put a piece of sand or glass in the oysters to grow them... Ocean pearls can be naturally white or black... Freshwater oysters (?)... From a pearl farm in Beijing... Naturally black freshwater pearls... Stringing is $1 per knot in China...  They are going to hire olympic swimmers to dive for the "oysters"... Oh no, beaders! If the pearls are not round they are destroying them now for pearl powder! Very interesting/funny to watch.
