Again, read the web site - he's using the term Black South Sea and Tahitian to describe the same item..they seem to mean the same thing to him. This company is Dranix isn't it?
Thanks for that informative post R&B. So there are black pearls farmed in Australia - that is indeed not a very well known fact at all..
Thanks Rusty, I was hoping you would back me on this one. I was surprised that no one else did.
Kat, thanks for reminding me. I've got a terrible clog in my sink and I've been meaning to put some Dranix on my grocery list.

Yes, Katbran . It's from Dranix .
And thank you R&B for sharing.
If anyone have any information about the differences between each pearl comes from.
Please share it.
Ha ha hahaha, Josh, straight for the jugular (gurgle)!
And yeah, remember the book Pearl Cove by Elizabeth Lowell? Not that she's Strack, but the black pearl farming was in Australia. She and her husband actually do a lot of research before they write on a topic, and don't take liberties with the factual portions, although they are writing fiction...But the book's copyright is 1999, so if truth, there's a small bit of black SS pearl farming been going on in W Australia since before then.
Im delighted that that wasn't a fabrication! Now, that's the way to go - Live all over the pearling world doing research on pearls (and rubies, and amber and their other topics).
Oops sorry, sidetracked, many sorries...
