Description |
English: Salmon-Colored Pearl, weighing 14 1/2 pearl grains, lying loose where it was formed in a shell, from Linn Junction, Iowa. The pearl is nearly hemispherical, or 'button-shaped,' somewhat one sided, but perfect above. It occupied a depression at the posterior end of the right valve, and had caused a marked outgrowth or protuberance of the other valve .
