Winged oysters are edible but unpalatable, and seldom produce precious pearls. It is a tropical species, with pearly interiors and long, wing-like projections of the hinge, have fragile shells. Winged oysters are found naturally on rocks and coral near channels and capes where the current runs fast and they attach themselves to the ocean bottom and to wharf pilings. Pteria Penguin is a major source of Mabe Pearl production. The Black Winged Oyster, Pteria Penguin that grows up to 20-30 cm in diameter is also called “the penguin wing oyster” from its shape like a wing. They commonly display a silver color under the oyster muscle with a rich mauve, gold banding towards the black/brown outer-lip. The Black Winged Oyster produces brilliant nacre with a rainbow-like spectrum of hues and possesses a uniquely penetrating brilliance, with hues ranging from light pink through deep "rainbow". Sometimes the pearls have gold or other hues of high rarity. This rich variety of lustrous hues combines with nacreous layers of a rarely seen fineness of texture to give this pearl. The Black Winged Pearl Oyster can be found in the east to the western tropical Pacific and from the southern islands of Japan in the north to the southern waters of Australia and Indonesia.
