A conch is a medium to large-sized marine gastropod from the Strombidae family, known as the Lobatus Gigas, or Queen Conch. Queen Conchs are found off the coast of the Bahamas, Florida Keys, Caribbean Islands and Bermuda where they're harvested for their delicious meat. Popular conch dishes include conch fritters, conch salad and conch chowder. Very rarely, a natural pearl will be found inside a conch shell. Only 1 out of every 10,000 to 15,000 conchs will produce a pearl. Only 1 out of every 100,000 to 150,000 conchs will produce a gem quality conch pearl! It is unusual for a conch pearl to exceed 3mm in diameter. Conch pearls over 10mm are considered to be exceptionally rare! Conch pearls can range in color from pink to red, orange, brown and white, with pinks and reds being the most valuable. Sometimes conch pearls display a characteristic known as flame structure that can resemble a fire burning beneath the pearl's surface. This flame-like or silk-like appearance is due to a phenomena known as chatoyancy​.
