World's largest pearl -- 75 pounds!

[ennui]

I can't imagine a pearl of this size, but it exists! Yes, it's from the South Seas, Palawan to be specific.

"A stunned tourism officer determined that the pearl, measuring a foot wide and 2.2 feet long, dwarfs the official current record holder."

My husband directed me to this article. I know i would of been sleeping sound too if under my bed. Love the organic natural form of the pearl too!

Exceptionally ugly and the valuation put on it is probably value of top grade gold south sea by momme multiplied by the weight of this lump.
Worth maybe a few k usd if someone really wants it. certainly no more

Holy Mother of Mary......that thing is HUGE.

I'm assuming the value is based on how many regular sized pearls you can make from it?
