The Road To A Perfect Pearl
14 12 2010Cultured pearls are grown on what are known as pearl farms. Like any other form of farming, pearl farming can be a risky business. An entire bed of oysters can be completely devastated by unpredictable factors, such as water pollution, severe storms, excessive heat or cold, disease.
After the pearls have been allowed to develop fully and extracted from the oysters, they are washed, dried, and sorted into general categories. Sometimes, the pearls are polished by tumbling in salt and water. The pearls are then sold to jewelers, manufacturers, and pearl dealers.

Originally the man that build all these wanted to put up a billboard with Bible verses but could never find the appropriate verse. Instead, he build the cross reported as being the biggest cross in the northern hemisphere.
