Candled Natural Pearls

[Lagoon Island Pearls]

I've been candling and photographing several natural pearls lately and selected a few that you might find interesting.

It's an excellent alternative to the otherwise expensive process of X-ray from the labs.

Absolutely cool, all right!

what amazing pictures - all the pearls bar one, look like they could still be floating in the ocean - like those stange creatures you sometimes see photos of near the bottom - there's just something 'marine' about them

thanks for posting them Dave
