Well, to me this is the most bizarre experience ever. I found my pearls -Cortez Pearls- for sale in the most bizarre place ever: Second Life.
For those of you that are not into the world of PC gaming (I have to clarify this point: I don't play this game nor do any form of online gaming, but I have a good understanding on the subject) this game called "Second Life" allows you to use a character (your avatar) and interact in a virtual computer world, where you meet other people, have a job, relationships, pets, shop... a Real Life but in a "safe haven".![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyway, I don't want to delve into this subject...but I found that a group of jewelers called "Los Texanos" sell virtual "Sea of Cortez Pearls", designed by none other than Jacon Cortez... please visit this link (or view image):

Anyway, they seem to produce more "Cortez Pearls" there in this virtual world than we do down here in the Gulf of California...also, the pearls seem much darker than mine so I believe they are produced in the Panamic Black-lip Oyster (Pinctada mazatlanica). Those pearls just don't have the colors of my precious Rainbow Lips![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
My question is: are we famous now???![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I don't know how to feel...perhaps amused...
