All these stones are of first-class water, clean and of good form, and of the most beautiful kind ever found. Also two grand pear-shaped pearls, one (weighing) about seventy (70) ratis, a little flattened on both sides, and of beautiful water and good form. Also a pearl button, which might weigh from fifty-five (55) to sixty (60) ratis, of good form and good water. Also a round pearl of great perfection, a little flat on one side, which weighs fifty-six (56) ratis. I ascertained that to be the precise weight, and that Shah Abbás II, King of Persia, sent it as a present to the Great Mogul. Also three other round pearls, each of twenty-five (25) to twenty-eight (28) ratis, or thereabouts, but the water of which tends to yellow. - [Previous: 59.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.tavernier~en-ball.59.3) - [Next: 59.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.tavernier~en-ball.59.5) - [Up: 59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.tavernier~en-ball.59) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.tavernier~en-ball.59.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.tavernier~en-ball.59.4) · Pramāṇa
