Understand the Mabe Pearl and its interesting properties.

* * Mabe Pearls and Blister Pearls in Mineralogy and Gemology * *

In mineralogy and gemology, pearls are classified as organic Gemstones with an interesting biological origin process. Mabe Pearls, also known as Blister Pearls, are one of the patterns that reflect the magic of natural crystallization combined with culture innovation. The dominant feature of this pearl is its magnificent convex hemispheric dome shape with a flat base.

* * Chemical composition and mineralogical structure * *

Pearls consist primarily of carbonate ore, with the chemical formula CaCO3 (calcium carbonate), which crystallizes in the Orthorhombic system in the form of aragonite ore (Aragonite). The structure of pearls is formed by the orderly cascading of tiny aragonite crystal plates, with a protein-type organic substance called Conchiolin, acting as a natural glue-like solder, and with water as a minor co-element. The arrangement of the Nacre layer, or this pearl layer itself, that produces an optical phenomenon called optical insertion and diffraction, resulting in pearl luster (Pearly Luster) and rainbow play phenomena ( Orient) on the surface.

* * Origin and Culturing Process * *

The main difference of the mabe pearl compared to the spherical pearl is the location of its origin. In the process of culture, experts attach a semicircular nucleus to the inner wall of the oyster shell. The most popular type is the pteria penguin. The shellfish responds to the unknowns by shedding a layer of neker to the core continuously. When the pearl layer is thick and shaped as required, it cuts out a piece of the shell, removes the original vocal, cleans the gap inside, fills it with resin material to increase strength, and closes the base with mother-of-pearl shells. ) Another layer. To get the perfect dome shape.

* * Quality Indicators * *

The quality assessment of a mabe pearl can be based on a number of factors, including luster, surface integrity, color and Orient, shape and size.

* * Interesting stories in other dimensions * *

Mabe pearls also have a strong unique charm in the gem market and are a favorite of collectors around the world.
