    All, A gentleman from the west coast of FL contacted me recently and
    asked if I had any knowledge on petrified pearls. Unfortunately I do
    not and had to tell him so...but, thought it a good idea to check
    with the forum. 

    Following is some of the informtion he provided me. 

    I called the biggest gem dealers in ny city and they said they could
    xray it to tell if its real or not and can't do a appraisal. I
    already know for a fact its a real pearl we found three of them in
    frist piles of fossil shells from a thirty foot deep shell pit in
    fla. 

    Please let me know so we can possibly help him out. 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT comcast.net
