Largest Pearl Ever Found

Pearls are the only gems in the world to be born and grown inside a living organism. Most are found inside oysters, but very rarely are they found in clams.

In 2006, a Filipino fisherman made an amazing discovery in the sea off the coast of the Palawan Island, Philippines: He found the largest pearl inside a giant clam measuring 26 inches in length, 12 inches in width and weighed nearly 75 pounds. It is valued at $100 million dollars
