From what I have understood the Tahitian Pearl Ministry regulates and monitors the quality and the quantity of Tahitian pearls exported. The pearls must be x-rayed, and the nacre muset be atleast .8mm around at least 80% of the pearl. But in the last issue of GIA's 'The Loupe' it states that the nacre must be .08mm covering 80% to pass.
Is this a mistake on GIA's part? This seems much, much too thin - like a 6-month cultured Akoya.
