There are more than 100,000 species of animals with shells in nature, but only 30 or 40 species can grow pearls. Natural pearls are now endangered. Natural pearls can be divided into two main categories: seawater pearls; Freshwater pearls. Guangxi pearl oysters live in relatively calm bays, and the cultivation methods are divided into nuclear planting method and skin grafting method. The nucleus implantation method is to grind the nacre layer of the mussel shell into a small nucleus, and insert it into the mussel's mantle membrane with an instrument. The skin grafting method involves implanting a small piece of mantle membrane into the mantle membrane of another mussel to form a seedless pearl. When cultured seawater pearls, the pearl core must be prepared, the core is a small ball made of a very thick shell, about 3 mm in diameter, the shell pry opens and inserts the pearl core, and inserts a core to grow a pearl. The shells constantly secrete pearl liquid, which are wrapped up layer by layer, gradually forming pearls. Marine cultured pearls have a large core on the inside, but the outer part is wrapped in a thin nacre layer. Freshwater cultured pearls are mostly strangely shaped and rarely spherical.
The natural shape of pearls is not round, and the shape of each grain is not exactly the same; The surface has large and small lines, which are gently scraped on the teeth, and the real beads have a sandy feeling, while the fake beads are as slippery as touching glass balls. Two pearls grinding each other true pearls have a sandy feeling, and false pearls are smooth.
