A couple in Florida enjoying a plate of steamed clams made an unusual discovery: a rare purple pearl.
George and Leslie Brock stopped into Dave's Last Resort & Raw Bar during a recent day at the beach. George Brock was about halfway through a dozen clams when he chomped down on something hard - a rare iridescent purple pearl.
At least one expert said the find could be worth thousands of dollars.
``Few are round and few are a lovely colour, so this is rare,'' Vermont gemologist Antoinette Matlins told The Palm Beach Post. ``I think they have found something precious and lovely and valuable.''
The couple plan to have the pearl appraised and said they will sell it if it is worth a lot of money.
