FOSSIL PEARLS
(English version -
software translation)
ESPERANZA 1
This fossil pearl has been obtained starting from
rough material as which is shown ahead.
Their color is
completely natural; the picture doesn't reach to show the true and wonderful
appearance of the piece.
The texture,
constitution, shine and general appearance correspond with the denominated Melo Pearls and/or Conch Pearl also known as pearls porcelain or porcelainlike.
Probably in their
origin the color of them was Golden or Coppery or Yellow; the fossilization of
millions of years concentrated the pigment giving this dark green olive with
tones (orient) yellow.
Weigh:
The cent of dollar
is good to compare the real size of the piece.
ESPERANZA 2
WILD HEART 1
This wonderful
piece was obtained polishing a rough piece whose original shape
remembered a heart. Weigh: 53 grams = 265 Karats
WILD HEART 2
Their color is dark
green olive and in clearer occasions, depending on the illumination, with
yellow orient as could see in the following pictures:

MOTHER OF PEARL
BREAST
This is a rough
piece (it has hardly been made a superficial cleaning of where the scarce shine
that one notices comes).
It is a Blister pearl or “Mabe” pearl; this type of pearls is hemispheric,
formed by growth between the mantel and the shell of the mollusk.
This Blister
pearl promises to come an extraordinary gem in an experienced jeweler's
hands that is applied with all their science and love to reestablish
their pristine beauty. It is observed that the orient of this piece once
refined it Will be probably red.
1 .- External view showing the mollusk's shell and 2 .-
inside the shell with the blister pearl.
At the center of the shell is reached to
observe the hole (healed) that drilled the parasite to penetrate the mollusk,
thereby creating the blister pearl.
It is possible (?) that under the
blister pearl still find the fossil of the invader parasite.
Rough Material:
Fossil mold of mollusk that begins to disintegrate
allowing to see after millions of years that in their moment it harbored a
pearl formed starting from other bivalve that was introduced in their shell;
the pearl is formed by means of the guest's overlaping with successive layers
of organic substance segregated by the host.
When reducing to
powder some of these fossil molds of mollusks several pearls they are obtained
by each piece, of small sizes and variable quality.
Fragment
of fossilized mollusk, where a small pearl red color is observed.
PACMAN
In this image it is
observed increased a small one and rare ejemplar of incipient pearl,
found when reducing to powder a fossil mold of mollusk like the one that it
is show in the previous pictures.
It is observed that
it is a small one bivalve that began to be perlificied for their host,
inmortalized the guest in the moment to open their shell (that which happens
when the bivalve ones die).
Starting from that moment
the guest bivalve was overlaped by the organic substance pale pink color.
The doted lines
in black in the following picture delineate the borders of the valves of
the shell and the red dotted line shows the space among the two
valves covered or filled with the organic substance that the perlificing
began.
ABORIGEN 1 and 2
(NATIVE)
Internal mold of a fossil bivalve, probably
"latiarca" that when it breaks (*) let see two objects inside ; when polishing the surface these objects they acquire
red or brown color.
*(Accidentally, which motivate Us to began
the search that led to the discovery of the other pieces that are showed in
this page)
Some experts
guessing that the objects inside the mold would be other mollusc shells that
during the process of fossilization would have come inside in some way in to
the mold main and preserved like separated fossils.
But ultimately this theory does not hold in
front to the evidence and the only
explanation for the presence of these objects is that are pearls produced during the life of the mollusk that
left this mold in its fossilization.
Aproach to the fragments of the fossilized mold which
show the negative or concave mark left on the opposite side; in these
concavities were attached the outer layers of each pearl.
The mollusck that left this
fossil mold died in an unexpected and catastrophic way like the vast majority of those in the region
as it did not open the valves as is the case currently.
There is no way whatsoever that post-mortem have entered other mollusks.
