    South sea pearls are highly sought after for their rich and varied colours. They can grow to an average of about 18mm rarely exceeding a maximum of 20mm. The main factors that determines the colour of a pearl are their growing environment and their oyster species. So this is the reason that South Seas pearls come in a variety of colours. Their prices are way dearer than freshwater pearls as each “cultured saltwater South Seas oyster” only produces one pearl in a five year period in comparison to “freshwater oyster pearls” that produce 20-30 pearls each in a few months! What is more, only one in four of these “cultured saltwater South Seas oyster” actually produces one single pearl in each five year period!

    I think it’s redIculous that people have been so gas lighted about what quality jade is, and that it “only comes from from Burma”… hooey!!! Having worked with both and polished etc, there’s no contest for me between the beauty and aesthetic of Guatemalan jade and pretty much any other.

    Ping An Kou is the standard term for this form in contemporary Chinese usage, and is one of the common forms that jadeite pendants are carved into, alongside the Wu Shi Pai (mostly or entirely uncarved block), the laughing Buddha, the Guan Yin, the leaf, the bean. The Ping An Kou was the common name for this form since the Late Ming Dynasty and besides the Bi disc, the alternative hypothesis for its origin is that it's like a traditional coin.

    I disagree with the comments about orange peeling. That usually is because the stone is either lower quality or the technique needs to be adjusted. I have had orange peeling only on the 800 and higher grit. So I have to use different pressure for each grit. Sometimes the crystal structure is just not that great for polishing, even with quality jade.
