Anil,

    The Conch Pearl is created in a Conch shell and actually is  not a
    true Pearl since it does not have a nacreous luster. 

    The most common color of the Conch pearl is Pink but in general the
    Conch Pearl is not common at all. 

    Most Conch Pearls in the Past have been found in the warm waters off
    of the southern U. S. as well as the Bahamas. 

    Since this is not a common pearl I do believe you may have a hard
    time locating one in a short period of time. You may want to try a
    few of the smaller specialty Pearl dealers as well as some that deal
    in Natural Pearls. If you have access to the JCK or National Jeweler
    Directories that would be a good place to start. 

Good Luck
