Richard Hughes 2012 China Pearls Photo Tour

[GemGeek]

If you click on this link, http://www.ruby-sapphire.com/photo-galleries.htm and then click on the China: Pearls 2012 image, you'll see some wonderful photos from their 2012 visit. A good chance to see ordinary pearls in production, and note, they call freshwater mussels "oysters". Enjoy.

thank you, Blaire. Nicely done photos. It does take awhile to load even on fiber optic.

Wow, great pictures with explanations. It makes one appreciate, again, the incredible amount of effort that goes into producing a pearl. And how fortunate we are to be able to pick and choose to our heart's desire (and wallet's stretch)...
