Pearl (Natural Freshwater)

Item Description

Yes, you read that correctly, this a complete natural (cultured) freshwater pearl from Tennessee! I didn't believe it when I first saw it, but these pearls are so famous, that they are the official state gemstone of Tennessee. They come from an embayment along Kentucky Lake in Western Tennesee. These pearls are cultured / grown in what is the ONLY only freshwater pearl-culturing farm operation in North America. I found an article online detailing the pearl industry in Tennessee, and I highly recommend to anybody who is interested in this material to give it a read ( https://thepearlgirls.com/tennessee-pearls/ ). With that said, this is certainly a one-of-a-kind pearl for its unique shape and size! I love the beautiful iridescent sheen on the surface, which reflect pastel pink and green hues. It's rare to find pearls over 20 carats from anywhere, and this one has such as distinctive form, it would make for a fantastic piece of jewelry, or a great piece to add to any gem collection. Don't miss this opportunity to get your hands on this impressive and unique stone from one of the most unlikely places for the material. Valued in the inventory at $1,500.00
