Wow, those are tiny! A true collector's pearl! What kind of mussel do they come out of? Thanks for sharing.

Hi
I don't have a clue. Came from Lake Pepin. Take care

Not really. the center one is about 5mm and could be in a jewelry piece. I have "tons " I have collected over the years and no
plans for them. some times a donation to a museum. There isn't an appropriate museum that I know of . Unless I fund one.
