Just for fun!

There are 12 pearls in the picture.

A mabe, a keshi, 6 Freshwaters, 2 tahitians, and 2 south seas.
Which is which?

The circled, unusual pearl is 12.9mm.

Zeide,

I forgot to tell that one fw is dyed with polymer coating.:D The rest are natural colors.
 
1--- FW
2--- FW
3--- FW
4--- Tahiti
5--- Keshi
6--- Freshwater
7--- SS (is this the one previously posted with Malleus ID?)
8--- Mabe (seen from the side)
9--- SS
10-- Tahiti
11-- FW
12-- FW (tinted & coated)

No 11 feels treated too, pink as it is, just not as tampered with as its pear-shaped neighbour.

Thanks for the bit of fun and fancy lineup :)

I don't expect I did well on this test, but the pearls are great!
1 fw
2 mabe
3 fw
4 Tahiti
5 keshi
6 fw dyed
7 SS
8 fw
9 SS
10 Tahiti
11 fw
12 fw
(edit)I am fairly sure about the keshi and the Tahitians and by the time I got to the end, the only one left was #2 so I gave it to the mabe. When I saw the big swirly pearl on the other thread, I thought it was a fw, and I think it is, after all. Maybe.

Zeide, you got it all right.

Valeria, you've got 10 correct! Not bad.
Yes, #7 is the one at the other thread.
#2 is the mabe I posted in your thread, "Oil In Water".
#8 is a symmetrical pill-shaped pearl.
#11 is sunbleached, but not dyed. The pink you see is an overtone rather than the body color.

Caitlin, you've got it all right as well however,
#6 is not dyed. It's a natural peach.
#12 is the dyed FW.

Great eyes!;)

Sam,
would that be number 3?

Nice pill! :cool: Could have sworn it would be the side view of a thick button - sort of wishful thinking, given how it looks. Besides, I really didn't realize that the mabe was propped up to show its round side, even in the other post...
