Found a purple pearl in Littleneck clam from grocery store in NH

This week I found a purple pearl in a Littleneck clam from my local grocery store in New Hampshire. I love to eat steamed clams and I eat them at least twice a month. I had no idea you could find a pearl in them, let alone a purple one.

I was so excited to find it. My pearl is a beautiful lavender color and perfectly round. I took it to a local jewelery store and they said it was 6 mm. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but wanted to share because it's beautiful.
