You got pearls

Abolone Pearl
Abalone Pearl by Multicolour.com
I bought this rare and 100% natural Abalone beauty from Multicolour.com for an upcoming pearl jewellery design competition. Imagine the thrill of finding one of these?

The Abalone pearl, with its true scarcity and impending extinction will prove itself the ultimate prize for the knowledgeable and informed collector.
Unlike the Oriental Natural, the Akoya pearl, and the South Sea and Tahitian cultured pearls, abalone pearls are not primarily judged by their roundness. Also, unlike other types of pearls, Abalone pearls are not subjected to any type of processing, such as bleaching or buffing. The pearls essentially look the way they look coming directly from the Abalone shell.
