Tahitian pearl

The Tahitian pearl (or black pearl) poé (pearl in Te Reo Tahiti) poérava (black pearl in Te Reo Tahiti) is an organic gem formed from the black lip oyster (Pinctada margaritifera). These pearls derive their name from the fact that they are primarily cultivated around the islands of French Polynesia, around Tahiti.
