SYDNEY: Archaeologists have found a unique 2000-year-old pearl in the Kimberley’s Admiralty Gulf in Western Australia.
The value of a pearl is generally determined by its size, shape, colour and lustre, but archaeologists say the 2000-year-old near-round natural pearl is “irreplaceable”, BBC reported.
The historically significant Brremangurey rockshelter was being excavated by a team from the University of Wollongong, University of New England and the Wunambal-Gaambera Aboriginal Corporation when the discovery was made.
Researchers took four years to analyse and date the pearl using non-invasive technology to avoid damages.
