Almost Ate A Quahog Pearl!

I was at a raw bar in Boston, around the year 2000. I ate a raw quahog and almost choked on something. It was a dark

purple pearl. I'm from R.I. and have eaten raw quahogs all
my life and had never even heard of one! So I saved it,
thinking I would show it to a marine biologist...I never did, but I have since found out that they are indeed rare, but not "unheard of" as I thought.

I'm so glad you didn't choke on your treasure!! I think that 'found' pearls are the most fun of all; they just seem to add a spark of luck to an otherwise ordinary day.
