Tiny pearls found in Swan Mussel, UK
I've been collecting swan mussels from our local river this summer. I knew it was hugely unlikely, but I hoped we'd find some pearls. My three year old daughter was so excited. Imagine my surprise to find these three tiny pearls inside this beautiful swan mussel. The shell too is wonderful and really thick with nacre. I know they have no value because they're so small but what a wonderful adventure souvenir for my little girl.
