Where to buy rare/unusual pearls

[Cuon]

I’m a collector of rare, unusual, or simply interesting colored gemstones and pearls. I want to round out my hoard collection with some more pearl specimens, however the difficulty I have discovered is that the pearl trade is as much, if not more inundated with fakes, stimulants, or straight up misidentified specimens than the colored gemstone trade to the point that finding specimens in my usual manner is not working.
As a result I am now here, asking for advice from some of the experts.

Currently I’m actively hunting for a kasumi (preferably undrilled, not a strand), pinctata mazatlania, Mississippi and Scottish river pearls, quahog; really just anything strange and unusual.

Thank you all in advance!
