Fijian Pearls

[jshepherd]

Justin Hunter just send me a photo of the rounds from a single line at his farm. These were just the rounds. The colors are really something.



These are a few of the more unique colored pearls.

WOW! Astounding!! I want some of the baroques! WOW!!!

Justin has invited me out next month to see the harvest while it is taking place. I am considering it although I really need to get to China...

Anyone here want to the the PG envoy out to Fiji to cover the harvest for everyone here?

OMG !!!! (speechless)

I'd love to go, I know Peter has always wanted to as well. Gonna have to talk him into it.

[Mka4972]

Love the colors by the way...

[Kevin Canning]

those blues and purples are great, can't wait to see a pic of the whole harvest.

[Pearly Shell]

Absolutely gorgeous!

Does anyone know why one line of oysters will produce such a variety of colours? I'm presuming that they have come from local stock and obviously under pretty much the same conditions?
They are stunning. wowie wow

[jshepherd]

The local stock has a much higher percentage of shells with an orange mantle than FP.

[Hanaleimom]

WOW !!! I am drooling. I love the purples and blues, well...all of them.

[jshepherd]

They sure are "fluffy", aren't they?!

Kidding, Justin! Kidding!

I'll go!!!! I want some!! Will everyone chip in so they can have a first hand look? lol

I definitely have to get my passport renewed, the list gets longer and longer.

Those are really pretty. I have been waiting to see more about Justin Hunter and his pearls here. Thanks for sharing, Jeremy! And I second the (self-)nomination of Waimeamomi to be your intrepid pearl scout I'll just have to wait and see Savusavu some other time...
