[Pearl Type] Sea of Cortez [Description] 
The only marine cultured pearl farm in the Western Hemisphere is in Mexico’s Gulf of California. Sea of Cortez pearls are cultured in the Pteria Sterna mollusk and the color runs the gamut from white to nearly black with rainbow overtones. They range from 8mm to 14mm, with those over 10mm being very rare. Sea of Cortez pearls have only recently begun to be cultured.
