Pinctada Maculata (Pipi) Pearls

[smetzler]

Really interesting. Those pastel pinks don't exist in The Cooks. Assuming poe pipi, it is clear that there is sub-speciation within P. Maculata. Penryhn's extreme remoteness appears to have isolated the most intensely gold-lipped population.

Especially fascinated by the bright "red" pearl perched on the edge of the shell~What is the size range on these pearls? I know they are small~Thank you for the great photos.

These are amazing, nature's bounty. Thank you so much, lucky few who cn get to actually own one.

Loloperle,

Just to be clear, are you claiming that all of the pearls in your photos are P. Maculata? My prior post regarding sub-species for shell color was pure conjecture—as yet there is no corroboration for poe pipi outside of the cream-gold spectrum.

It appears to me with all the colors that P. Margaritifera is sneaking in here, and it wouldn't hurt to add lab certification for natural vs. keshi.

Will greatly appreciate your comment.
