Southsea Pearl vs Edison Pearls

[ericw]

OK!... And I have put my feet in my mouths (les pieds dans le plat, in frensh).
I am really glad to make you so laughing!
In fact, it's a usual way to make difference between aragonite and calcite in mineralogy (which is one of my hobbies).

Frensh phrase, Pareltje, you know our specific focus about what's happening on a table!
Just I have seen the link, laughing too!

Well, Christmas is just around the corner. Mix a few "Lop Noors", gssps and silver blue akoyas... and we can all start singing carols!

And with some chemicals used to make "lop Noors", you might even do your firework for New Year!

Ahh I get the joke now I had figured it was probably a joke.

Pareltje, it's not putting our feet in a dish, as we say in frensh, that can do the difference between calcite and aragonite, but to turn it in red as I have explained (ooh my english!!) However, to find pearls in Lop Noor desert is so easy than to believe that its bladder is a lantern (other frensh phrase).

I was kidding, eric. If you translate that literally, it sounds very funny.

Yes, Pareltje, I know you were kidding also you have your own phrases, in english, which express so well done humour!

Is there a way to tell a large FW Edison pearl from a SSP? Any tests?

Update on the edison colour fading. I took a chance on some really nice deep violet edisons last september . They've just been on my workbench in the light for just under a year now (on probation!). Happily no change of colour. That's after Grace all but admitted they had had a problem with the deep purples.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Those are a pretty, color, pearlescence. Is that an "after" shot? If so, did you happen to take a "before" shot?

 

[pearlescence]

No, I didn't. In any case it would be unreliable. Photos are easily cooked

You should be able to rely on yourself, lol!

 

[pearlescence]

Not necessarily. subtle nuances of colour in photos can be elusive. I do rely on my memory

 

[Red]

Well, if you never turned them over, and they are the same color on the top and the bottom, that would be proof enough for me. I'm not sure memory would detect a very slight color change.

 

[pearlescence]

No signs of sun bleaching. The sort of colour change we were discussing wasn't subtle. From strongly purple to washed out pink did happen. I'd remember that (not least because I wouldn't have bought washed out pink!)

 

[BlackPearlDudeDC]

I don't want to reignite any controversy, but I've been MIA for awhile and sort of out of the loop and just trying to catch up.

I'm just curious, is this no longer a debate but it has been confirmed that some of the deep purples will fade? Even though Wendy's are still going strong after a year of light exposure? (Forgive me if this is still a sensitive issue)
