The Heart of the Lagoon

[MistofCassiopeia]

hmmm, thanks effisk
back to the books for more research
btw - I ordered Elizabeth Strack's pearl book and can hardly wait
and - I just discovered that I have a natural pearl in my antique jewelry collection!
(small but natural nonetheless!)

Hi MistofCassiopeia! Can you please tell me where you ordered the book from? I have been trying various sources but always come up with a blank....Many thanks!

[danachit]

Josh, thank you so much for sharing this...Wow! Do you think it's one of the largest pearls in the world this beautiful? If an Arab Sheik contacted you and said name your price, what would you say?

[Valeria101]

So... this isn't sold a few times over already? Hard to believe...

[Monty Hall]

Amazing colors! That photo feels really Christmas-y -- I can practically *smell* the pine needles. It's probably because those pearls have such unreal iridescence.

How wonderful!

CarolK - Where have you been, girl???? I was worried about you. You are another "found" pearl in the lagoon of PG.

Holy wow Josh! I think I'm in love with the Heart of the Lagoon.

Can I write a book about it? It'll be about a young pirate who is searching the world for a pearl he has in his mind. He learns all kinds of martial arts (hence the term 'foot') and then he finds it!! The perfect pearl. And the fight is on! In the ensuing drama, he turns green. Becomes the protector of pearls. Learns that there is a rhythm to all of life. Falls in love with a woman who wants to nurture the pearls as much or more than he doe. She helps him learn all about the pearl beds. (There has to be a love interest or the movie won't sell).
Wadda ya think so far?

O.K., here's the happy ending:

"...and the Heart of the Lagoon

finally came happily to rest

on the slightly freckled chest

of the auburn-haired tattooed mermaid..."

Happy New Year to all!

Sheri - that's the perfect place for this beautiful pearl.... I'm glad it came home with you.

[Drucilla]

W O W ! ! What an incredible gem to start off the New Year with -- on a hard-working gal who rightly earned every gleam of it.

It's amazing on you!!! My best congratulations!

[Drucilla]

Don't put it on a corset...it should stay on your neck.

[waimeamomi]

Good job keeping that under wraps! That's the way to start the New Year. I'm glad it came to rest in such an awesome place.

Sheri,

It's Perfection on you!! What else can I say!!!!

[Amrita]

WOW!!!!!Don't know what else to say! What a wonderful start to 2009 for you! Utterly outrageous!

[kelluvpearls]
