How to start a Pearl Farm

[Caitlin]

A Layman's Guide.

From Kari's Pearls, a treatise by Maria Haws.

I see this is from 2002, so maybe we already have it listed.

Just what I want!

I've just downloaded it to my Kobo and will be looking forward to reading it when I get some spare time. Thanks Caitlin!

Since I seem to have mastered ant farming (those pesky critters come into my house every spring) maybe I can master pearl farming too! Somehow, though I think this actually much more difficult than an ant farm!

Thanks for posting, Cailtin!

Hey! This is great stuff and will answer many questions we get. Thanks!

Please Everyone, rate this thread excellent, so it stays on top! A very readable, but detailed and interesting description! Thanks Caitlin!

I stickied it, since there was only one other stickied thread in Pearl Farming.

Oh wow! Look what I found! I was browsing, looking for Pearl Farming for Landlubbers, or something. I'm bumping it, because we have so many new people. I'd forgotten so much of the article, it's a good refresher.

I was thinking about pearl farming, several ideas, location, species, technics and also species preservations by farming, but would need partners (EU).

Thanks a lot, Caitlin. I am just in need of such a book. Such great material, feel like back to school.

Can anyone tell me what species is this olive color in the middle representing in Figure 4 on page 13? The denotation is very blurry. I get the yellow and the green, but not this olive.


Table 2 in appendix is screwed. That's one of the most important parts, because it's the table of costs.

StarryPearl our dear Caitlin passed a couple of years ago.
And for inquiring minds, the ant farm is still going strong!
