PEARL POINTS News of the Discovery of the Finest Pearl Ever'Known. London, March IJ7.—Bond Street where from time Immemorial the London jewelry trade has h»d its center, has bee ( n set in a flutter ;by the news from the Society Islands concerning the dis covery of what is deejared to be the fin est pearl ever known.! According to' the story it is a marvelouk pearl of immense size, perfect lustre and a dazzling, pea cock green in color. The wonderful pearl was found near Manga Reva, in the Gainbier group, and was taken to Tahiti Uy a Chinese buyer from the eastern islands, who has placed upon it n prize of 1,000.600 francs. If the pearl is as described, say the Lon don experts in precious jewels, this prize is not at, all fantistic. Pearls, as every one knows, vafy in color. Many people have an idea that black pearls have a greater value than others. This is not the case. The most valuable pearls are a pure white, and perfectly for stringing as next is a pure white large enough to be or ear drop. Then pearl, which is |£HHHygjjiid, with the exception of aon one side. Black pe4rV|pla|'«MMhesc shapes arc worth shapes in whit^H Pearls of a and irreg ular shape, or fastenetr^^lh!-r in clus ters, possess no great commercial value, though in some 1 cases enormous prices have been paid for them for sentimental reasons. For instance, a pearl fisher in Torres Straits found a perfect cross. This cluster, after passing through the hands of sevejal dealers, was eventual ly sold to some wealthy Roman Cath olics for presentation 'to the Pope, {he sum paid being $50,000. The actual value of the pearls composing it, if separated and perfect, would not have been more than fifty dollars. The most valuable of what for want of a better term may be called “freak pearls,” are the pink, pnes, but these are very seldom met with. So rare are they, indeed, that they have no fixed commercial value; though the pearl fish- 1 * ers say that, when they are found, the Indian Rajahs are always williug to pay enormous prices for them. One sis the most remarkable groups of natural pearls in the world was exhibited in the Australian Pavilion at the Wemb ley exhibition e last summer. This ex traordinary exhibit, known as the South ern Cross, is a cluster of nine pearls I I forming an almost perfect Latin cross. The shaft' is composed of seven pearls measuring an inch and a half in length, while the arms of the crass are formed of one pearl on each side opposite the second pearl from the ttop downwards. , Examination under a powerful micro scope shows that the gems were repro duced by nature in their present arrange ment, probably as a result of mutual com pression during growth. - This cluster of pearls was discovered in 1874 by a pearl fisher at Roeburn, in Western Australia, but so amazed were the finder and the owner of the vessel that, believing it to be a heavon-wrought' miracle, they buried the treasure and left it to be “forgotten. It retnainded hidden until 1879, when an Australian explor er, Alexander Forest, passed through Roeburn and, hearing accidentally of the liearl, diseldsod its existence to the world. It is nbw the property of a London mer chant, and is valued at $50,000. Large quantities of what are called seed pearls are found. ’ They are about the size of a small shot, of irregular shape; but of good color and lustre. These' are sold by the ounce or pound, at the rate of from ten to fifteen dollars an ounce. Much of this seed goes to Paris, London, New York and other large cities, where it is used for orna menting women's gowns. No Successor Yet to Judge Long.
