When I was a part of the Cortez Pearl Team (seems it was ages ago!) we would every so often encounter these very same inner fractures. At least that is what I believe they are. But these fractures are not exposed, but found several layers below...

Hi teeuk
I have not really heard of this happening at the moment...but in Japan's Akoya pearl farming -from my perspective- we don't have to wonder WHY are these mortalities happening; the question should rather be oriented towards WHEN will the next mortality occur???
And there...Leave a comment:

Blasted! I spoke with tech service and they helped me change the PHP.ini file -where this limit is found- and I upped it from 50 megs to 70 megs per file (well above the 4 Mb photos of most photos), so this should not be an issue (we had actually had this problem before, remember?) and I also went into...Leave a comment:

If possible, please send me a screenshot of the error Jeg! Will try to see what the issue is.
I'm going ahead and reaching out to Customer Support: Right now!...Last edited by CortezPearls; 09-17-2021, 04:36 PM.Leave a comment:

Hey jeg this sounds like a specific use scenario (fancy term for "your device") issue. Have you tried updating your iPad or even turning it on or off? Sometimes this is all it takes for a device to start working again.
I wish I had an iDevice but I don't own any and cannot try...Leave a comment:

Wish I had photos, alas I do not
Back in 1994 we had no digital cameras and I actually had a lousy little camera, good enough for family pics. I met with some Cook Islands pearl farmers over at "Pearls '94", over at Honolulu and I had the chance to see and touch their unique pearls....Leave a comment:

Oh wow! Love these floaters! Both pearls are stunning but I love the greener one...reminds me of the old "Pistachio" colors that came out of the Cook Islands so long ago

You need someone to Appraise them for you. They would first check to see if they are truly natural saltwater pearls of course, then they would probably give you a value of natural Akoya pearls unless you could provide proof that they are from a local variety/species (the price could go up a bit)...but...Leave a comment:

Chinese Pearl Farming Update for 2021
From our friends in China, unable to post the information directly due to Pearl-Guide being actively blocked in this Asian country:
Pearling News:
NOTE: I edited the text a bit for clarification, but more relevantly, we have a couple of questions
1. What will this mean for the availability of freshwater pearls?
2. If saltwater pearl production increases dramatically, what will this mean for pearl productions elsewhere?
Interesting... -

They look strikingly like Akoya oysters...even down to the nacre colors.
If they were fished from your waters it means that they are now there too. A lot of researchers will probably be interested in this!Leave a comment:

Interesting...that looks like an Akoya pearl oyster.
Quite interesting because I've never seen a report of pearl oysters in those waters. If that is not a shell purchased at a "Pearl Party" and it is from an actual pearl oyster fished in Senegalese waters it would be a thing of importance...Leave a comment:
