Here's some great info from our friend Douglas, of Sea of Cortez Pearls fame. A blog worth reading for both entertainment and education; I highly recommend checking it out of you aren't familiar with it!

Sea of Cortez mabes are as beautiful as any you will ever find, with thick nacre, amazing colors, and affordable, too!
