Found My Pearl Again on New Year's Day

OK I just found it! (again)
This past summer we had clams one night. I bit into something funny, which looked like a pearl. I did not know clams could make pearls. Then I tucked it away "someplace safe" like I do with everything, then couldn't find it later. I recalled it being smooth, more oval, maybe creme or grey. This morning's news story about the valuable purple pearl had me going crazy looking for it.
Sure as anything I lost it like I do everything, With one last look I found it tucked into a glass votive holder. I knew I put it in something glass.
I don't know if it has much monetarty value, but sure I will check into it. On the other hand, if I hadn't found it, I'd be wondering if I lost a priceless pearl for the rest of my life. So the price of peace of mind--having found it--is Priceless in itself.
Just fyi--it looks perfect though oval and all creme with a little shading, and 6.5 mm by 8mm
