I have just one last i would like to show. Just to be sure i understand difference between pearl and blister pearl. This is a tin one but it look to me as a pearl and not a blister.

Thank you so much for your answers! As i recently started to do jewels out of my shells it will definetly add a great touch to my creations! Also as i did some more research with this new information, i found out some shell can be worth a few hundred euros :-) Thanks again for your time!
