Freshwater Pearl Found on Vacation

(Ontario, Canada)

I was on vacation with my mom and dad and I was snorkeling around this island where my parents had found two fresh water pearls a few years ago, and as I was swimming something shiny caught my eye so I went down to see what it was and a white shiny pearl was sitting in the sand beside a rock. The pearl was almost exactly the same size and shape as the two my parents had found a few years ago. But I am amazed at how flawless and round the pearl seems compared to other fresh water pearls.
