IMITATION PEARLs.


me ~sneuAcuA EEoceDn Dy1t91lch They
Are Produced.
Among all precious stones few are
50 extensively Initiated as the pearl.
The real article is sIIyery white,
iridescent gem extracted from the
pearl oyster. The genuine pearl is
really an unfructined egg Of the oys-
ter.
ical process. The liquor employed in
the manufacture is called "essenee
d'orient" The base OF this compound
Is prepared by throwing into water of
ammonia the brilliant scales of small
river fish called the blay.
The scales are first carefully washed
and put to soak In water. when the
pearly-like film falls away and forms
sediment at the bottom of the vessel
This sediment is worth to the manu-
facturer 60 an ounce.
White wax of mucilage or gum ara
bic forms part of the mixture proper
for the more important and expensive
limitations. such as those made to imi-
tate the rare oriental pearls which
fetch fabulous prices.
The emerald is another stone which
Is eleverly initiated. A perfect emerald
is the rarest stone In the world, though
the trade ranks it after the ruby and
the diamond. The best emeraIds come
from Peru, the limitations from France.
The real article becomes electric by
friction. and herein lies the difference
between it and the imitation.
