The Cocnannt Pearl

The most peculiar of all the gems is
the remarkable concretions occasion
ally found in the flesh and other por-
tons of the common cocoanut. 1t Is
composed of pure calcium carbonate
without a trace of other salts or yege-
table matter, and is capable of taking

wonderful stories were told about the
cocoanut pearls, but they were geher-
ally discredited by the best known
naturalists. Ii was said that they were
priced in India and Africa as charms
