Melo Pearl

Rare form of Pearl from Southeast Asia that is formed from a marine snail called melo melo. Although technically not considered a true Pearl as it didn't form within a mollusk, Melo Pearls are often regarded Pearls due to their formation in an organic marine environment and similarity to Pearls. (See Melo Pearls in our resource guide for additional information.)
