Help on these tiny pearls!

[A Breaker]

Please give my your best guess...Akoya or Faux??? I think they are akoyas, but they only have grit on my teeth, not when I rub them together. I have this same problem on tiny akoyas near the clasp in those graduated 13 oz vintage akoyas. (So it isn't helping!) They have the look of akoyas and reflect the light correctly. They even glow in UV light. But I am frustrated with the lack of grit when I rub them together, but grit on my teeth. (I don't usually use my teeth as I find rubbing them together less ewwwww.. & usually just as easy!). I need all your

good eyes!!!!

What you need is a loupe! Compare the surface appearance with that of pearls you know are real.
Smooth under 10x magnification - real.
Coarse looking = fake

That helps!!!! With the loupe there are scratch marks, instead of smooth. Mystery solved! Faux..but good faux.

Scratch marks? What I was referring to is more like this image. I don't know the source but will try to find it:
