Variety of Pearl

Scallop Pearl

Form of Pearl produced by any member of the pectinidae (scallop) family. Although technically not considered a true Pearl as it didn't form within a mollusk, Scallop Pearls are often regarded Pearls due to their formation in an organic marine environment and similarity to Pearls. (See Scallop Pearls in our resource guide for additional information.)
