Found a pearl in a clam

Hello!

I was out to dinner with my family and eating a dozens steamers as usual. The first clam I bit into I felt something solid. Turns out it was probably a pearl. Just trying to see if it’s worth anything. Thanks!

Hello Michael (my favorite man's name),

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm assuming that steamers are Little Neck clams? If not, please enlighten me.

If I'm assuming correctly, then you've found a small quahog pearl. Quahog pearls are extremely rare and yes, they have value.

Even a small quahog pearl has value but the darker colors are more desirable and sought after so have more appeal and value.

Nevertheless, a natural pearl is a natural pearl and they are rare and super special.

I suggest having your pearl mounted in a lovely ring by a local jeweler and wear it often as one of God's gift's to you or someone you love.

God bless,
