Abalone pearls with their iridescent colors are one of nature's treasures and I love hearing about finding them. Here, I invite you to upload a photo or video and tell your pearl story.
It must be a big thrill to find one of these. My parents bought a shell which grows these pearls on Catalina Island in California many years ago and as a child I never tired of gazing into its loveliness. The pearls from this mollusk are just as beautiful as the mother shell.
