Leslie & George Brock's Purple CherryStone Clam Pearl

Believe it or not....there are quite a number of purple pearls "out there," but few make the daily news. Leslie and George Brock's purple pearl that they found at Dave's Last Resort & Raw Bar in Lakeland, Florida, made headlines at several news stations today and yesterday.

Watch a video of Leslie and George Brock at the restaurant where they found the pearl:

What most folks don't realize is that any mollusc can make a pearl....even a sand snail. Of course, not all are valuable, but natural purple pearls are getting lots of attention these days and the price levels for natural purple pearls will be determined partly on what a famous Quahog brooch sells for at the Natural History Museum.

Leslie Brock uploaded this photo and story of their new purple pearl find here on KariPearls.com:
