Natural Blister Pearl

Natural Blister Pearl

I just found this one the other day in the Pet Store I work at part-time. Its pretty small and misshappen. Sorry for the terrible photo.

Oh wow, oh wow, oh WOW!!!

Mr Thomas Hochstrasser has one killer collection. I can't get over the pink and pomegranate red conch pearls.

Amazing; he should be sharing his expertise here on PG.

I love the way the pearls have been displayed next to the shells, similar to the way they were found in situ.

Again, wow.

Few month ago I posted a Thread: ?Pinctada shell found with 85 natural pearls in it?

My Pinctada has many big blister pearls, I post some photos and ask if someone can tell me how they were formed.

Glad you found this thread Gianpiero! Your pearls in a shell are perfect here, as well as in their own thread.

ciao gianpiero,

are there many small holes at the back of the shell ?

most shells i have with blisters show clearly where an intruder came in

this week a had a tridacna squamosa with a 7 cm long blister send to me and some other nice shells with blister pics will follow soon

Ciao,

I don?t note small holes but may be perforating animals, now I post a photo of the back of the shell and some radiography made by CISGEM.

Daniel,

That is a truly great and growing collection! Thank you so much for sharing here!!!

 

[Lagoon Island Pearls]

Nice collection, Daniel.

I'm intrigued by the Spondylus shell. Their shells are hinged together with a ball and socket type of hinge, rather than a toothed hinge as is more common in other bivalves. They don't use byssus to hold fast, but by cementing themselves to substrates (as in japanese oysters or rock scallops). Your sample concreted it's own hinge as solid.

 

[Agustus-Collection]

even though the shell has already been cut, i believe it is still worth to be posted, the colors as usual simple can not be fully shown in a photo

I shall pay more attention to my food next time I go to a seafood restaurant in Hong Kong.
