"Este retablo presenta características muy especiales en el tallado de sus columnas, como las estrías aperladas clásicas"
This is in a Central American cathedral. I can't find this kind of fluting anywhere.. any suggestions? Thanks.

"Pearlescent Fluting"
I agree with Karin's explanation, and offer this alternative as I believe it conveys the pearly content more explicitly.

nacreous fluting
Aperladas appears in several sites, mostly Mexican, so perhaps it is of local use. However, it always makes reference to what here we call "nacarado" (I'm in Argentina). You might use then any adjective in English to describe the lustre of nacre. I found "nacreous", but you may find some other word you like better. Hope it helps.
