Which is more precious: Black Pearl or White Pearl?

Not all black pearls are created equally. For example, the composition of a perfectly round, perfectly clean lustrous natural color black Tahitian south sea cultured pearl necklace is a true rarity. One can only imagine how rare such a grouping of pearls truly is. Each year, hundreds of thousands of oysters are cultured in the mysterious islands off French Polynesia. And each year, thousands of farmers stand there sun-burned before their harvests, having waited six years, in the hopes that just one in one hundred pearls will return a paragon; a large, round, lustrous pearl. For black pearls, the job is doubly hard as black is the absence of light. We all know that luster or the reflective quality of a pearl is the amount of light a pearl shows. Here we have a classic dichotomy. How does a pearl that appears to be dark shine at the same time? To quote John Steinbeck in his novel, The Pearl, "it captured the light and gave it back in a silver incandescence."\nThe black pearl, due to it's rare quality is far more precious.

Take a closer look.\n\nThe white has a 60 gig HD and the black 80 gig\n\nAnd people will pay more for a color. Canon did it with the Rebel XT (SLR camera)\n\nAs for me, I like my ole 17" powerbook (silver) ;-)

I value beauty by the overall appearance of the body itself, with little regard to the actual color of the individual. If I'm more attracted to a black (should I use black or African American? Or is it a different term now?) woman than a white woman, so be it. Vice is also versa.\n\nBeauty is in the eye of the beholder. If it values race as a source of beauty, then so be it. I just don't happen to think that black (af-am?) women are any more/less pretty than white (caucasian?), hispanic, japanese/chinese/filipino?, etc... women.\nI just like women. :)

Many of todays' freshwater pearl stock are farmed in China pearl faarms and surrounding areas.  The large number of colored or designer pearls, except for a rare grayish-black or white, have been dyed after they are strung for sale.  If you want to look at a vast array of freshwater pearls in every color of the rainbow, please go to eBay and the eBay store called Pearl Emporium.

Personally, I like yellow gold, because it looks richer, and brings out the colors of the stones better. White gold makes my skin look too pale.

Fool's gold (pyrite) is a lot more common.  Being rare makes things more expensive. Plus there's not much you can do with pyrite, although it does grow naturally in cool shapes like squares and octahedrons.

A pearl is made of calcium carbonate, the same material the oyster shell that produced the pearl is made of.  Any carbonate is very susceptible to acid.  The acid in a cat's stomach is not strong enough to completely dissolve a pearl, but it will certainly etch the surface so that it is no longer glossy.
