Featured Help identify pearls

Thanks for going in, Jivvy!

 

Have you been able to find your way out yet, or should we send a rescue team?

 

I was able to emerge after finding explanation #3. That one made sense to me.

Not that the first two are wrong (or right), but a chemical interaction/reaction fits better with my limited understanding of hot glass.

 

Yeah, i know NADA about pearls but, have never seen one with an "orange peel finish" like one OP has.

 

Thankyou @Jivvy, I now know more about marbles than I realised I needed!

 

I contacted some experts. They said its a real pearl and they need some tests.

 

That's good news, but are they going to charge you for the tests?

 

Great news! Please, keep us updated with the results!

 

What reasons have they given?.
I struggle to know what's a real pearl when it's in my hand so it would be useful to know what the experts are seeing?.

 

what experts.....maybe i have a pearl too..?

 

@Hollyblue

 

Three basic tests: led light. uv light. x ray
With led light must take yellowish color.
with uv light must make green color.
and x ray show you the layers of pearl formation.
I will post pictures later.

 

I hope you'll also post the reasons the experts gave for their determination.

To say the least, I'm extremely curious to know how the orange peel texture occurs in pearls!

 

Like that


This is mine

 

oh, I was hoping for more info on how it is formed.
