Beautiful pearl found in Louisiana Oyster!

My Fiance and I were visiting a restaurant in Ocean Springs, MS over the weekend. I love raw oysters, so I always have to order some if we go to a restaurant that freshly shucks them. We had ordered a dozen and I was on my last oyster when I about broke my tooth on something very hard. I managed to get it out of my mouth and found that it was a pearl. I was so happy... that has never happened to me in all the years of eating oysters. I'm not sure what kind it is or if it's worth anything, but I would be curious. Any information would be great! I think this would make a very pretty single stone necklace!

Thank you!!
