A man finds a pearl in a pacific oyster. Finding a pearl inside of an oyster is very rare. A 34-year-old man, James Humphries, from Cornwall, United Kingdom got a real shock after he purchased two fresh oysters to cure his hangover. Once he dug in, Humphries felt a lump in his mouth and initially believed that he had lost a filing. What he spat out was a flawless, round pearl. The family business that sold him the oysters claims that they have never seen a pearl come out of any Pacific oysters in 80 years of business. Humphries plans on keep the pearl, stating "I'm thinking of getting it made into a piece of jewelry, possibly a little silver fish with the pearl for its eye." In 2011, another lucky diner hit the pearl jackpot. The woman from Houston pulled out a purple pearl from her mouth after she went out to lunch with her boss for Fat Tuesday at Mardi Gras Grill. When she returned to work, the woman began researching, apparently she found that the odds of discovering one were about 1 in 2 million.

i was just watching steven universe when this baited my click

He probably got sick after eating a pearl oyster. They are filled with bacteria because of the slime and sand to form pearls

not rare in the Pacific islands an island "Manihiki" of the cook islands is known for the black pearls found in the lagoon

I found one in hail stone i Don't know how it got into one but damn i think the chances of getting one that way are very slim

so how much are these perls worth ?

now that's some awesome hangover aftermath

its not that rare i have found pearls in my oyster several times i live in seatle washington but i have never found one that big they are usually small.

kino

i was in redondo beach a while back and theres a store you can buy oysters from and when we opened two of them we had like grayish pearls. i figured it was a pretty common thing to find a pearl in an oyster

I have a pearl alright...down in my pants! lol!

I got a purple one

how is this special? It's a pearl. It's nothing special

my husband found a lil pearl today in a oyster today

all I've found are crappy deformed ones

Damn they are lucky....I don't eat that so ya NEVER GONNA SEE A PEARL 😿

So wait... one in a MILLION? Why then aren't natural pearls worth like, I don't know... how much does it cost to buy Bolivia or Ecuador? Makes them seem rarer than 10 carat yellow diamonds.

Guess I am one of Those people found a pearl while eating a raw oyster at a restaurant one night

These are genetically modified to make pearls. Pearls will be worthless soon.

Turns out that pearl was worth 1.2 billion.
