The Birth of a "Gas Giant" Pearl

[MaxC17]

wait wait wait... this turns into a hallow pearl?? crazzzzyyyy

[PearlMan69]

@MaxC17 Yep! That is what happens. You obtain a large and hollow pearl...hence the name "Gas Giant"

[Litening17]

Like squeezing a giant clam pimple.

[MeUAndLiqour]

that made me hungry for brown boggers

[PearlMan69]

@MeUAndLiqour: Why not try some brownies instead? I don't know if they would be better for your health, but surely they are much more tasty.

[PearlMan69]

@hincheah Why???? That "gas giant" is not alive...unless you care for the bacteria that caused the gas. I am baffled!

[hanefar11]

lool you using a tamiya pinching tool or what they call it

[PearlMan69]

@hanefar11 Just using curved tweezers... they are very handy when working with pearl oysters...

[JejeM78]

That boy was holding a huge pearl! Where is the pearl from the black sack thing? Are gas giant pearls valuable? How do you get the oyster to produce those pearls?

[PearlMan69]

Gas Giants can be valuable (like the one you mentioned) but most are fragile and can crack...so this has to be evaluated on a pearl by pearl basis.

You don't really want to produce these "gas giants"...they sometimes happen due to bacterial infections inside the oyster's "pearl sac". The "black sack thing" you mentioned will eventually receive a coating of nacre and will become a true pearl.

What the video depicts is the process prior to the coating...something very few people have ever seen.

[umean123]

@TheOlivettidumball usually pearls are worth 0 dollars and 0 cents but that depends somethimes they have a value... most of the time its worth squat

[PearlMan69]

@umean123

Depends on the pearl itself...some are indeed worthless but some are incredibly valuable. Almost all things share a similar scale of values... a brand new Mercedes can be vary valuable to some, but to some that very same car might hold no value...and if the same car has crashed and is totaled it may have just residual value.

@PearlMan69

That's a cool piece of tar pearlman.

[pretty5pixie]

@TheOlivettidumball those black sack thing is a pearl but it didnt turn out right

[lucicara]

is it safe to touch it ?

[PearlMan69]

Yes, quite safe...it will feel different than other pearls: it is large, yet it will be lightweight. It will also feel fragile...
