Somehow, I find pearls much more beautiful than diamonds or gold. Well, I guess it depends on what you think. =D

@zarizzy21 We have a pearl farm here...means we grow oysters to produce cultured pearls, BUT some of the oysters (fewer than 30 every year) may produce NATURAL PEARLS. The ones you see in this video ARE natural pearls. I have another video about the HARVEST OF CULTURED PEARLS... if you watch it you will notice the pearls are very much different in size (cultured pearls are bigger) and the place where they are found: the mantle for naturals, the gonad for cultured.

Its funny that oysters make pearls because of one grain of sand

@kibby669 Never a grain of sand...just google "Cortez Pearl Blog grain of sand" and you'll get detailed information. The grain of sand explanation is given by those that believe in fary tales such as: "Babies come from Paris, by Storks", "The check is in the mail", "Read my Lips: No more Taxes" and so forth...

@zarizzy21 The "thinga magingis" is more of a "watchamacallit"...we call it a NUCLEUS. It is a perfectly spherical mother-of-pearl bead, and it is used for Cultured Pearls. For NATURAL PEARLS you don't use a single thing: they just happen!!!
It is very likely that they happen because a parasite attacked the pearl oyster.
