Scallop Pearl at Fine Dining Restaurant in Washington D.C.

I work in a fine dining restaurant in Washington, D.C. and found myself cleaning scallops, after my normal shift, and to my surprise I found a pearl.

It's the most beautiful pearl I've ever seen. About 3-4mm and almost perfectly round. It's white/cream with shinier spots.

I never even knew scallops had pearls. I guess thats my reward for working late.
