Type of shells |
: |
White & golden Mother-of-Pearl shell is produced by the Pinctada maxima mollusk ~ the South Sea pearl oyster
They are currently cultured in areas throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans, primarily in Indonesia, Australia and the Philippines.
These waters are the native habitat of a large oyster known as Pinctada maxima. This oyster grows up to 12 inches in diameter and much larger than other saltwater oysters
There are two varieties of Pinctada maxima, the silver-lipped and the gold-lipped. The two are distinguished by their distinct coloration of the outer edge of the interior. This type of shell is known as mother-of-pearl, and is responsible for the coloration of the cultured pearls produced, therefore the name.
Penguin Wing Oyster Shell ~ Pteria penguin
This gorgeous shell was cultured in the pristine tropical waters of the Island of Sumbawa / Indonesia. Mabe pearls are grown in Penguin Wing Oysters.
