Blue pearl pendant

Hello, I’m wondering if anyone knows what kind of pearl this is. It is bright blue green about 10-11 mm in diameter set in 18k white gold. Hallmark is IPS18K. Thank you!

It looks like an abalone mabe pearl.

I agree! Looks like a beautiful New Zealand Abalone Mabe!

OMG what a gorgeous little pendant. Would love to hear the story behind it.

It looks like the Eyris Pearls from New Zealand. Even the setting looks like their setting.

Thanks all, the answer I was hoping for. Short story I found it second hand and thought it might be a blue Eyris. Very happy to hear your expert opinions. It is a stunning pearl, the colors are unreal. I have nothing like this among my many pearls!
