Awesome explanation! If I can photograph a few of these to better be able to show that effect, I will. The most "fiery" (if i can use that term) ones are those that seem to be a bit clearer, rather...

;) they are all for sale, but the owner would prefer to gather more info about them and have a real valuation. Then she'll decide if it's worth parting with them. I do agree with posts above, that...

Yes, i have seen many local scallop pearls but within this collection there are at least a half dozen that are rounds and quite a few large ones with very interesting "glow". Another note is that...

Hello guys!

A young lady came to my studio a few days ago with an amazing collection of scallop pearl given to her by a friend. She intended to add them to her aquarium but decided to come by...

extremely similar, yes... Do you ever come accross some that have "super lustre"? Once in a while, I come accross a M.Ed. natural that has mirror-like lustre, always white ones, usually 2-4mm and...
