This was found partially buried in the soil. Upon inspection of the blister I saw what look like a separate pearl inside of the blister pearl. After grinding down on the exterior the pearl inside just came out of its own accord.

I had heard that abalone pearls could be found embedded in layers of the shell and found on this particular one that it is true.

This is being offered as a specimen or for study purposes.

No attempt has been made to restore the nacre if that is even possible.
