Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 PICTURE: GAJA MOTI - 20.56 ct Extremely Rare & Certified Genuine Elephant Pearl. The Elephant pearl is precious for many reasons. Extremely rare and hence expensive, they are supposed to bring great fortune to the owner of such a pearl. They are considered priceless treasures, and usually only gifted by tribal chieftans, or accidently found deep in the jungles. They are formed inside the tusks of an elephant, but not every tusker contains the pearl. About one in a thousand or fewer contain this much sought after pearl.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Sri Varunji, Namaste!!! Good question. This piece claims to have a "certificate" from a Lab in Sri Lanka, but it was too small for me to read. I would assume that an elephant tusk pearl would also be ivory, just like an oyster lined with nacre creates a pearl that is all nacre. It appear that if the item was inspected it would show growth lines diffirent than straight tusk. Like a real pearl shows circuler growth formation in X-ray.
