King Crab Pearl?

Pearl or Not? King Crab Pearl

January 2008 -- I don't know if this is a pearl or not. We were eating King Crab legs at a restaurant in Naples, Florida and my mother bit into this little round ball. It looks like a scallop pearl to me but how would it have gotten into a King Crab leg? Do you know if this is a scallop pearl?

Crab pearl?
by: Rob

I was eating King Crab legs with my son today and bit into something hard. I dug it out of the meat and found something that looked just like a pearl, but not completely round and looked kind of ugly, and had a slightly reddish tint...is it valuable? who buys them

I was wondering what other people had done with their "Crab Pearls," and what I should do with mine.

Crab Pearl found!
by: mklein

I feel like I have just joined some weird club (like people who have been abducted by aliens). I just found a crab pearl. Ugly thing cause mine is not perfectly round, Has a red tint to it. The size of Washingtons Head on a Quarter. I would say it looks more like a tumor..

I hope it isn't worth anything as I split it open, a dark hard surface inside. I was eating a salad at the time so thought it a hard pea or bean, but nope, it smells like crab! I hope it isn't a tumor from a cancerous crab?!!

Hi. Did anyone ever find out the value of the King Crab Pearl? I found one last night and was wondering because I can't seem to find anything about the value on line.

Thanks.

Pearl worth anything?
by: Terri Lester

Does anyone have a clue if these pearls have some value? Is there a pearl expert out there that could give us some information? Many of us are interested.
Thank you.

Terri, I'm just realizing how large your find is and wondering what you have decided to do with it?

I've added your submission to this new catagory for "crab pearls" because of getting more stories about finding these in addition to your own.

Have you shown it to any jewelers? What comments have you gotten about it?

Thanks for sharing your story.

Please keep us informed if you gather more information about your discovery.
