This has been another effort over many years, to grow out a genuine ORA Pearlberry. Finding the real deal is harder than it seems. Now, I know that ORA has begun selling it again. I'm not so convinced it's the same as the original. Anyone got any info on that?
For now I am growing this one out. I bought this from a hobbyist here on r2r. Let me know what you think. I'm thinking this is looking promising.
I wouldn't draw any conclusions from the size of your frag and the Pearlberry is very difficult to photograph the colors one see's in person
I keep this pic on file because it is a very accurate picture of an original Pearlberry with it's coralite structure and various hues of color. This how it should look in person without drowning it out in blue lighting.
The new ORA Pearlberry to me is a cheap imitation and not even close to the original.
