A simple test to identify a true Sea of Cortez Pearl from all other varieties of pearls. It involves the use of a long-wave Ultraviolet (UV) lamp. The Cortez Pearl glows red under this light, truly a unique attribute of this special marine gem.
@MaxC17 Well, people are still doing what people have done since early -prehistoric- times: they wear these "odd shaped" pearls. You have to understand that 100% round pearls are very rare in Nature, so fully round (cultured) pearls are a very young invention (since the 1930's in commercial quantities).
The reason why you don't find baroque (appropriate name for odd shaped pearls) shapes are many, amongst these: it is easier to set a fully round pearl on already made, mass produced jewelry items
@saetapoeta And it is also the oyster's incredible genetic make-up, responsible for coming up with this unique trick!
Y también es responsabilidad de la ostra, que con su increíble constitución genética es capaz de producir estos bellos colores y tener esta interesante fluorescencia.
Es el resultado de la dedicación y confianza en su propio concepto. This is the result of dedication and a sense of "farmers' '" confidence in their own unique concept. The reward: that beatiful and unmatched glow and color. El resultado, ese hermoso color no igualado
