Abalone Pearls, Some Of The Most Beautiful Pearls In The World
http://www.girlswithpearlsbahamas.com/collections/silver.html#sigProGalleria269c8de8e1
Abalone pearls are considered by many to be some of the most beautiful pearls in the world, and they are also some of the rarest. Abalone pearls come from the gastropod mollusk, Haliotis.
The inner mother-of-pearl shell of the abalone has an intense luster and a mixed color palette of blues, lavender, orange, green, pink and silver, in nearly every conceivable combination. The beauty of the abalone pearl is the reflection of this color potpourri in its typical irregular shape.
Abalone pearls are rarely (but occasionally) symmetrical. The most common shape is the "horn" shape. This is due to the anatomy of the abalone. A large, brilliant, symmetrical pearl is a nearly one in 100,000 occurrence.
