Description
What Are Freshwater Pearls?
Freshwater pearls are created by freshwater mussels in lakes, rivers, and ponds. These pearls are found in the market, often originating from rivers and cultivated in places like Thailand. While the USA and Japan have a smaller share of the market, freshwater pearls are predominantly cultured rather than occurring naturally.
The current scientific cultivation technique involves trained technicians implanting stimulants into the mussels to encourage pearl formation. Unlike the commonly used nuclei in Akoya and other saltwater pearl cultures, freshwater pearls typically use tissue from donated mussels as nuclei. These pearls do not contain nacreous nuclei but are entirely composed of nacre layers. The advantage of a thick nacre layer is that freshwater pearls become more durable and beautiful.
Freshwater Pearl Colors and Overtones
Freshwater pearls come in various colors, including white, cream, and gray. Additionally, you’ll find pastel hues such as Canary yellow, lavender, and coral. High-quality freshwater pearls may exhibit pink, green, or blue accents, while low-quality gemstone pearls lack these desirable features. White, cream, mauve, and black are the most popular colors for freshwater pearls. However, it’s essential to note that black freshwater pearls are artificially dyed; only Tahitian pearls occur naturally in charcoal gray to black shades.

Denali Glacier Landing Expedition
Walk on the massive Yanert Glacier with views of the spectacular and vast Alaska landscape! Experience the delight of standing upon the ancient Yanert Glacier on Denali's original glacier landing! Fed from the precipice of Mt. Deborah, which towers over the glacial valley in which you'll land, explored primarily by TEMSCO Denali, we invite you to truly encounter the great Alaskan Wilderness. Your tour will begin at our private heliport. From take-off, you'll soar over the rolling hills and sharp, jagged peaks of the Alaskan Backcountry as you travel up the currents of the glacially-fed Yanert River with your experienced pilot as your guide of the area. And, be sure to keep an eye out for caribou, moose, bear, and dall sheep on the way. Upon landing on the glacier, you will be free to roam the icy terrain. Have a drink of the freshest water this earth has to offer. Take home an ancient rock emerged from the crevices of the massive ice moraines. But, most importantly take it all in. Let your mind capture the imagery a camera never could. See the perfect shades of blue, wonder at the towering walls of the mountain surrounding you, and fall in love with Alaska the way it was meant to be seen.
