Description: Natural rare Abalone Pearl - 19x8x5mm - 3.83cts. Stunning iridescent colors a true beauty of nature. Among the rarest pearl varieties in the world, abalone pearls grow in nature, without human intervention. They’re known for their amazing colors and intriguing iridescence which is like no other pearl on the market. Much like traditional pearls, abalone pearls form when an irritant gets into the shell and is viewed as a threat by the creature. This then activates its defense mechanism, as it layers the irritant with layer upon layer of colorful nacre, which over time forms into a pearl. The most unique characteristic of abalone pearls is their range of vibrant colors. These swirl on the surface of the pearls in vivid greens, blues, purples, cream, pinks and even yellows. A mix of metallic blue green is the most dominant color, much like the abalone shell. The reason that these pearls are so rare is that they require about 8 to 10 years to form (note that it takes only 24 to 36 months for the pearls to develop in pearl farms, as ideal circumstances are provided), and most abalone are fished by the time they're only four or five years old and haven't had sufficient time to create a true pearl. Furthermore, not every kind of Abalone is able to produce pearls, and even in those that do require a very specific combination of elements in order for the natural pearl to form. This includes everything down to the water temperature, the stress levels of the abalone and what the abalone has to eat throughout the 8 to 10 years of the pearl’s formation time.
