I was going through a potential lot today that was primarily composed of pistachio pearls and happened upon this one so I had to take a picture before I decided to decline the lot.

It is so rare to come across a real chocolate-colored Tahitian pearl.
 
I hope you offered a little more for it than the per piece asking price on the lot and kept it..
 
No, I didn't. I probably should have, but the back of this pearl was marred up quite a bit. The lot had too many C pearls mixed in to make it worthwhile.
 
Too bad..The picture looked good anyway...
 
Interesting. I have a two-tone Tahitian - brown on one side and black on the other. ;)
 
I'm curious to see how the marred side looked. Did you take a picture of the back side as well Jeremy, or just the good side?
 
I got a drop shaped chocolate tahitian from Pearl Paradise during one of their live events a few months ago. They only had 2 in the whole show. I've never seen a vendor keep them in stock on their website - only dyed ones.

Cocoa colored pearls are rare. We would get some Cortez in those tones/colors...especially in warmer years. But they were always just a few!
