Pearl or Not? (Found Inside a King Crab Leg)

Pearl Inside King Crab leg?

Pearl Inside King Crab leg?

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?

starstarstarstarstar 		We FOUND ONE.... A iridescent pinky-lavender pearl
by: Joy Braverman

My significant Other came home and suggested we eat some King Crab that we had stored in the freezer since January, 08... we each had a leg. When he was nearly finished, he made a 'sound' like a little grunt, fished into his mouth and plucked out a PEARL from the leg meat... He plopped it onto MY dish and said, LOOK, "I found a pearl in the King Crab..." I looked at him quizzically - I never heard of PEARLS in crab... let alone King Crab. I got ONTO the net after placing this unusual colored gem into a plastic bag and labeling it with date, 3/4/08, the situation etc., and entered "King Crab Pearls" into my Google Search... here was THIS story on THIS page.

I was excited BEFORE but now, I'm so excited at this, I'm beside myself.

Where can I go to have this documented and evaluated? What to do????

Hi Terri,

Your entry is very interesting.

See this article in TheFacts.com. Bay City Woman Finds Pearl in Crab.

I've summarized the story here:
Stone Crab Pearl.

I think yours could be a similiar "pearl". And if that is the case, I think you have a very, very rare and possibly valuable "pearl".

But I doubt that it is a scallop pearl, the chances of that are very remote, in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing.
