Five Pound Pearl is a Record, Says EGL USA
EGL USA authenticated one of the largest pearls ever
to be discovered and documented. The brain-shaped
specimen - a giant non-nacreous natural blister
pearl - weighs an incredible five pounds (2.267
kilos) and measures some six inches in length. It
was found in the waters off the Philippines in the
giant clam, Tridacna Gigas.
A team of EGL USA expert gemologists, led by
Nicholas Del Re, analyzed the pearl (pictured) using
a combination of advanced technologies: Digital
radiography, close magnification, and data provided
by a handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) unit.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime look at one of
nature's most unique treasures," said Mitch
Jakubovic, director of EGL USA. "A pearl this size
is not only the largest ever seen at EGL USA, it is
among the largest ever seen anywhere. We were
pleased to be able to provide the expertise and
experience necessary to assess such a rare and
valuable specimen."
David Bidwell, senior appraiser of EGL USA's
appraisal affiliate, Universal Gemological Services
(UGS) provided additional confidential counsel to
the pearl's owner, Hadjzad Biteng. "This is clearly
one of the most valuable pearls of its kind in the
world today," said Bidwell. "Mr. Biteng is currently
considering many exciting opportunities regarding
its future. To coin a famous phrase, one could say
that the pearl world is his oyster."
Coming in September a 3 Day Event that in addition to the Giant Pearl will also feature a fantastic Toy Soldier Sale and a super Estate and Clock Sale that includes High End Black Forest, Animation, Toys and other Collectibles.
October – Sports, Rare Books, Posters and Maps.
