Clam Pearl Story

I was watching the Antiques Road Show and a woman had a ring encircled with diamonds. She wanted to know what the name of the purple stone was in the middle. The appraiser informed her that the purple stone was actually a clam pearl. (Prior to that, I had never heard of a clam pearl.) It was soooo very pretty!
