| Here's something to think about ! If a Conch Pearl is created in a kidney, then a Human Being also creates Pearls, as in GallStones,Kidneystones....Wouldn't that be also considered a Pearl ?...It also takes alot of time to create in the body. Just something to think about is all...         |

| I am not sure the logic would really works. Otherwise gonads would ... well, you know. Conch pearls grow between the shell and the mantle, not in the kidney...

Heheheh. Actually William Shatner got $25,000 smackers for his kidney stone last year. Forget about conch pearls. http://www.send2press.com/newswire/2...0118-001.shtml Jeremy, you're famous now. Maybe you too could get a few bucks for your personal bezoar. We could have a bidding war online. Slraep |

| Alright this is really wierd. Charles you picked up on my thoughts somehow across all this watery space. After that conch pearl thread I had resolved to start a kidney stone thread. Alas, I've been at work all day and you beat me to it. My hat comes off to you. Slraep I also wanted to thank you for that delectable little bit of info. |

| Hey Pattye, My laughter kinda changed into an "eww". lol I can't believe someone bought a kidney stone, and William Shatner's at that!! I mean, what am I missing being over here in Japan? What's happening to American culture. What's next? An Angelina Jolie nursing pad? Truly, a "WTF" moment. Thanks for the err...laugh.  |

| I think we've deviated a bit from the topic of pearls. But perhaps some of our more deviant members might be interested in gemstones, particularly: http://www.brushybasin.com/Gift_Fossils/PCS/pcs.html |
