Big Pink Pearl
Nothing could ever compare to the Big Pink Pearl's dazzling features. In 1990, a notable diver named Wesley Rankin discovered a natural abalone pearl that is regarded as one of the pearls appropriate for royalty. This Pearl's astonishing price of $4.7 million is justified due to its overall weight of 470 carats and baroque-like qualities. The nacre of an abalone pearl is naturally colored in a variety of colors, including pink, lavender, green, and blue. The stated Pearl is currently in the possession of Rankin, a well-known abalone pearl dealer.
Diver Wesley Rankin spotted the Big Pink Pearl in 1990 at Salt Point State Park in Petaluma, California. The 470-carat pearl was formerly the world's largest abalone pearl, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. A 718.5-carat pearl discovered by Dat Vi Truong in Mendocino, California in 2010 now holds the record.
While the 'Big Pink' abalone pearl's exact origin is uncertain, scientists believe it is a product of either the Red Abalone species 'Haliotis Rufescens' or the Pink Abalone species 'Haliotis Corrugata.' California, New Zealand, and Australia are the most common places to find these oysters.
