Pearls are one of the great treasures to come from the ocean.
One Filipino fisherman happened to find a significant pearl when he was out during a storm.
His anchor was stuck on a rock. When he went to release it, he noticed a giant clam, so he brought it up with him.
Thinking it was nothing other than a good luck charm, he put the pearl and the clam under his bed.
10 years later, after his house had burned down, he gave this to his aunt to put up for display. To their amazement, they learned the pearl was worth more than $100-million!
Believe it or not, the pearl weighs about 75 pounds. That's as much as some children!
It's believed to be the largest in the world
Well, it looks like I need to start looking for giant clams!
