paddling out to get some mollusks
Here we are in east central China at a pearl farm.
My wife and I with a manager of this pearl farm out to gather a few shells to open.
The mollusks are in net bags suspended from a line attached to the green floats you see
in the picture.

Here I am standing on one of the banks of the pond that the pearls are being cultured in.
The photo
gives you an idea of how big the pond is

Looking For Pearls
We have opened the mollusks that we collected from the pond
and are looking for the pearls that they contain
|

We Found them
Here are the pearls found in one mollusk. There are a number of different colors of pearls
represented in this one specimen
