Yes, it does. It has a nice flame pattern.
Thank you. Was hoping someone would confirm. Not very knowledgeable on Conch or Melo Melo beauties, but been researching and not very commonly found. Let’s hope what I receive is this. Previously I had purchased what they described as a Melo Melo, but in fact was a stone that was dyed and resin coating applied. Returned.

You're living dangerously! Let us know when you receive the conch. The photo is indeed of a pale pink conch pearl with pervasive flame. What are its dimensions and weight?
I know. The rock sold as Melo Melo was a different seller. This one featured dimensions and weight are: 8.7x 5.1 x 3.2mm, (1.05 CARATS). Not big at all, and perfect for the piece of jewelry I’m working on. I will post pic post arrival.

Great. The 9x5mm face of the pearl is actually not that small. Sounds like you have a good plan for it.
This is the item that was sold to me as a Melo Melo. I had no knowledge on non nacreous pearls, Once I researched more on them, I did not want to take a chance and shipped back for a refund.
I have no idea what this is, but it did not look like any Melo Melo I have seen. Curious tho
