Bev Kranti pearl

Bev Kranti pearls were a type of pearl produced by Bev Kranti clams from the planet Chandel. Bev Kranti clams took 150 years to produce several pearls at once which were considered quite valuable. The peals had an iridescent color that was almost invisible to human eyes, however Mon Calamari could see the vibrant pulsing and shifting color of the pearl. In 3 ABY, a pearl could sell for 2000 credits.

During 3 ABY, the scoundrel Kay Vess was tasked with retrieving a Bev Kranti clam from the Pyke Syndicate on the Outer Rim Territories moon Toshara. After aquiring the clam, Vess brought it to her contract broker Danka Orsato who proceeded to sell it to an Imperial officer. However Vess was able to palm a pearl from the clam before the Imperial officer took possession of it. After the exchange Danka requested Vess meet her at Makal's Gambling Parlor in the capital city Mirogana. When Vess arrived, Danka revealed that she knew that Vess had taken one of the pearls and she offered to broker the sale of it to Crimson Dawn or the Ashiga Clan.
