Hello folks,
Now that the Eclectic Lapidary is up and running again, I can take
time to catch up on things.
I wonder if anyone here can help me with on natural
black blister pearls. I found an oyster shell with one on a
Chesapeake Bay beach. Oysters are a major industry here, so there are
shells just about everywhere. I’ve picked up a few small ones before
with little pearly blips (my description), but not fully formed
blister pearls.
Is this something common or unusual? Should I be on the lookout for
more?
