Found a Giant Clam Pearl?

A giant clam pearl can almost take one's breathe away....they can be sooo large, like this one in the photo below. You can tell by the comparison with the man's hands that it is really huge.

They can grow large enough to fill a man's hand and even the largest pearl on record, Pearl of Lao-Tse, is from this mollusk, the Tridacna Gigas.

You are invited to show us a photo or video of your pearl and tell us all about finding it.
