  • An image shared on Facebook purportedly shows a small, blue sea turtle that is allegedly living in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Verdict: False The image shows a glass turtle pendant created by an artist, not a real sea turtle. Fact Check: Multiple Facebook users have shared the close-up image along with a caption that alleges, This is not ceramics, but a small turtle living in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. She was shown to tourists by a Panamanian diver and then released back. Featured in the picture is what appears to be a small, blue turtle resting in a person’s hand. However, there is no evidence to suggest that such a sea turtle exists in nature. It does not resemble any of the sea turtle species listed on the Sea Turtle Conservancy’s website , and Check Your Fact didn’t find any media reports to corroborate the post’s claim about the Panamanian diver. A reverse image search revealed the pictured turtle is actually a glass pendant created by the artist Paul Katherman several years ago. The image was shared in May 2014 on Katherman’s Instagram account @paulietwofingers , which is associated with the glass art vendor Katherman Glass . View this post on Instagram A post shared by Katherman Glass Paul Katherman (@paulietwofingers) First turtle made in the new studio, the caption reads. Available. Message me. Flower SeaTurtle $90 plus $5 shipping. (RELATED: Is This A Photo Of The Woman Who ‘Posed For The Statue Of Liberty’?) Other ornate glass turtle pendants can be found on the Katherman Glass website.
