By measuring the fluorescence spectra of pearls from various species of mother oysters, a distinction has already become possible as to whether the pearls are from Pinctada fucata, Pinctada maxima. Pteria penguin or Pinctada margaritifera. In this study, the fluorescence of pearls from freshwater bivalves was measured. The results have made it possible to distinguish freshwater pearls from the other pearls mentioned above
