Not as fabulous as a abalone pearl (idea for new industry!!) but i found a
pearl inside a  arca zebra, Beth, it's the ugly arca that's green inside,
the pearl wasn't real nice and lacked luster , it was still attached to the
interior just below the abductor scar size was 2.1mm, just in case someone
is taking notes. by for now , Mark & Peta  Bethke
Hollywood, Florida
