The Tahitian pearl is sometimes called the "Black Pearl", but not grown in Tahiti, is grown in French Polynesia. And Tahiti is part of that group islands, although not cultivate Tahitian pearls. The islands are called the Islands of Tahiti, but in French Polynesia. This group of islands is the largest producer of the "Black lip "pearl oyster (Pinctada margaritifera). This oyster grows wild from the Persian Gulf, the Indian Ocean to Central Pacific Ocean. They live in northern latitudes of Ecuador.
