Ten Pearl Jam
Cameron Fluet
A favorite of calligraphers and illustrators, the Blackwing Pearl includes a balanced and smooth graphite core that is softer than the graphite found in the Blackwing 602, but firmer than the graphite found in the Blackwing Matte. Each pencil features a pearlescent white, pink, or blue finish, our iconic square Blackwing ferrule, and replaceable eraser.
Phenotype: Pearl is a coat color dilution that is characterized by a dilution of the coat, mane, and tail as well as a lightening of the skin, often resembling the champagne dilution.

Six different coat color dilution phenotypes have been defined in horses: cream, dun, silver, champagne, mushroom, and pearl. Pearl is a rare dilution phenotype recognized in Quarter Horses and Spanish horse breeds such as Andalusians and Lusitanos. While, in Spanish horses, this dilution was always known as pearl, in Quarter Horses and Paints, it has been commonly known as "Barlink Factor". Research at the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory (VGL) on Quarter Horses and Paints identified a mutation associated with the "Barlink Factor" dilution. Further research has shown that the same mutation is present in Spanish horses with the pearl phenotype. The presence of this mutation in Quarter Horses and Paints likely reflects the Spanish horse ancestry of these modern breeds. To recognize that this mutation probably originated in Spanish horses, it is appropriate to name it pearl.
Pearl behaves as a recessive trait with respect to the hair color. One dose of the mutation does not change the coat color of black, bay, or chestnut horses. Two doses on a chestnut background produce a pale, uniform apricot color of body hair, mane and tail. Skin coloration is also pale. Pearl is known to interact with cream dilution to produce what is been called pseudo-double cream dilute phenotypes including pale skin and blue/green eyes. The mutation responsible for the pearl dilution is located in the gene SLC45A2 (c.985G>A), the same gene that contains the cream mutation. Horses with one copy of the cream allele and one copy of the pearl allele are thus correctly termed compound heterozygotes. The pearl mutation is though to disrupt the trafficking of pigment molecules to melanocytes, resulting in the pearl dilution.
Testing for this pearl dilution variant can help owners make breeding decisions. If the pearl phenotype is desired, it is advisable to breed two pearl horses to each other (Prl/Prl). Matings between two pearl carriers (Prl/N) will produce pearl offspring 25% of the time.

Despus de aos de tinte deje descansar mi pelo por unos meses, pero an en las puntas estaba desgastado. Entonces empec a probar kiehls y kerastase para mejorar su apariencia. Mi brillo mejor pero la textura no era buena. Empec a nutrir por dentro y una amiga me recomend tomar el pearl, una semana despus mi pelo est sper suave al tacto. Vendrn an mayores mejoras pero es lo primero que notarn a simple vista. Despus de 3 semanas de uso, mis uas estaban sper fuertes y ahora luego de un mes, incluso la piel est ms limpia. Recomendado por una suscriptora mensual.
