Hello lou

    I really enjoyed the pictures of your abalone pearls. They are verry
    special !!! 

    Straight away they made me think of (fish? shark?) teeth. 

    If I combine that with: what natural pearls realy are and how they
    are formed (hostile particles that intrude the shell and get covered
    in mother-of-pearl) I'm tempted to think that your abalone's
    encountered teeth and made them into pearls (a freak of nature?). 

    I've seen pictures of pearl budda's. They inserted little budda's
    statues in to the shells to turn them in to pearl budda's. 

    Maybe this is a direction to look for in your search for what these
    pearls are. 

    Good luck and ceep me posted if you find out :) 

Monique Gregory
