(due to surface effects) as a lustrous sheen. White, light cream, light
rose, light yellow, blue and green overtones on a white body, black and
colored pearls.
Hardness: 2.5-4.5
Density: 2.6-2.78; conch pearl, 2.85; cultured pearls, 2.72-2.78,

the Indian Ocean between India and Ceylon), Australia, South Seas, Japan,
