Update on new pearl finds Update on new pearl finds Hello, All, Some unseasonal typhoons reduced our natural pearl finds in the Celebes Sea; but in some kind of cosmic equilibration, those our divers did find were excellent...and HUGE. As soon as I can get some good photos, I'll post...

Rorz, You will more than get your money back if GIA or SSEF report them out as naturals. Very nice. Tom Stern, MD

Hi, I recall Mr. Ali Safar, Chief of the Bahrain Gem Lab, giving a speech at the World Pearl Forum in which he said the largest natural Bahraini pearl his lab had ever certified was 12mm. Those look fairly large. How many mm for the biggest? Regards, Tom

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_snake The information does not reassure me. Try to take a look at the video on my Facebook page. It begins with one of my men controlling a yellow sack full of sea snakes. Finding pearls is not for the weak-hearted. Having seen these snakes, maybe I'm...

Life span of Giant Clams Life span of Giant Clams Dawn, I have been told that Giant Clams, which make Tridacna pearls, can live 200-300+ years; and that Pinctada maxima, which produce beautiful nacreous pearls, live up to 20 years. So I assume similar spans would apply to P. radiata, Pteria...
