I too have a large baroque abalone pearl still attached in it's shell. I dove for abalone near Bodega CA over 30 years ago and recently found one of my shells from those days. I am interested in selling it but have no idea what it's worth.

I have a blister pearl from a abalone shell I found it n the beach in Northern California. It is about the size of a 1/2 golf ball and a white in color. How do I care for it and who would I contact if I have questions related to my amazing find?

This is pretty much rare I guess. I have been trying to find one of these and have always been in vain. I don’t think I will be able to buy this, as this seems to be a bit costly for sure.
