As a follow-up question, I’m curious:
Are there any simple visual or physical signs that help distinguish a real natural pearl from one that is carved from shell—especially for someone without access to lab tools?
Thank you again for your time and insights!
Hello,

Here are some details:

- Shape: Round
- Surface: Slightly rough
- Color: Silvery white with strong luster
- It is not drilled or polished
- Location: Sana’a, Yemen
I’ve attached several photos taken...
