    I agree with Mona - it definitely seems that there is something a bit
    fishy going on there. Perhaps the author is concerned about mass
    poaching of conchs for these pearls? It is quite possible that the
    color of the conch pearls might fade if the pearls were constantly
    exposed to bright sulight - after all, even the most colorful shells
    will fade in the harsh conditions of a beach. However, it seems
    likely that such conditions would damage any kind of pearl or organic
    gem, and customers should know that all such gems require a little
    care. 

    Thanks for the link to allnaturalpearls.com! I especially loved the
    abalone pearls - sooo delicious - too bad I can't even think of
    affording them *sniff*.
