Scallop pearls are usually small and range in color from shades of brown to plum or purple, orange, and white-purple. Brown is generally undesirable, and the pearl has to be very high quality to be marketable if it is also brown. The calcite in scallop pearls usually forms in microscopic platelets that show a type of “adventuresence” that makes it appear that these pearls have a type of glitter shimmering beneath the surface, gaining them the nickname “glitter pearls.” Scallop pearls sell for around $50-$500 a piece depending on quality.
After seeing all these beauties, we are even more pearl crazy than before! These aren’t even all of them – there are also Pen pearls (nacreous and non-nacreous oyster pearls), various other clam pearls, and Cassis pearls (another pearl from a sea snail) just to name a few! Nature’s little treasures really are breathtaking.
