Like nacreous pearls,
tridacna pearls grow in mollusks. Specifically, they form in bivalve mollusks of
the Tridacna genus of clams. This genus includes giant clams
of enormous size. Technically, tridacna pearls are calcareous concretions because they aren’t made of
nacre. In a tridacna pearl,
instead of forming in sheets, the mineral aragonite arranges itself radially. In a
fine specimen, this results in an exciting flame structure that rolls across
the gem.
These clams grow in
tropical reefs in the Indo-Pacific region, primarily in Indonesia and the
Philippines. The giant clams are indeed known to produce such pearls but only a
few are recognised by gemologists. they are unique and rare to come by
