Found a Pearl in an Oyster!

by Joy Henderson
(Robbins, NC)

My parents purchased oysters from a local supermarket to use in oyster stew. Upon eating the stew, my dad felt something hard in his mouth and lo and behold there was a pearl!

We were wondering how much this pearl may be worth.

Lucky Day!

Hi....lucky day to find a pearl! I once found a very small pearl when eating oysters and was so surprised. Unfortunately, I didn't keep track of it.

If your pearl was heated, it may have lost some of its luster. Oyster pearls vary in appearance. Since luster is the most important pearl factor, those with a dull surface won't be worth much more than having sentimental value.

Send a photo and I will check on price for you with a couple of folks who buy these natural pearls.

Thanks for sharing.
