Myanmar's largest natural blister pearl was found on 19th April 2001, during oyster fishing at Macleod fishing ground near southern tip of Myanmar-Thailand border. Though the surface of the pearl looked liked a brain, the colour was silvery and lustrous. It weighs 45.06 momme and measures 62 x 50 x 31 mm. It is the largest-ever natural pearl which is nacreous and extracted from a mother of pearl oyster.
On 21st December 1966 we harvested Japanese seeded pearls and obtained an extraordinarily large cultured pearl. The lustre was good, colour was silver and shape was baroque. It weighed 9.80 momme, the width was 32 mm and the height was 41 mm. It is the largest cultured pearl in the World until now.
