The Fascinating Life of Oysters

Place in a. Sa. But she said oysters are born

males and they're all males and they're all larvae. And then

for seven years, they build their shell up around them. And then

some chemistry happens and they turn to female. Only the females make pearls.

I thought that was so interesting. And she said the most pearls she found in

One oyster was 14. All different little sizes. Black,

burgundy, green, purple. And she said you can tell

a real pearl by its luster. You can see your reflection.
