Fisherman hands in giant pearl he kept under the bed for 10 years
"A fisherman in the Philippines has kept what might be the largest natural pearl ever found hidden in his home for more than 10 years.
The enormous pearl is 30cm wide (1ft), 67cm long (2.2ft) and weighs 34kg (75lb). If it is confirmed to have formed within a giant clam, as has been reported, it would likely be valued in excess of US$100m."
"The man was her nephew, and had kept it under his bed as a lucky charm, she said.
'He said every time he goes out for fishing he will touch the pearl.'
She made a call on Facebook for experts’ help in confirming the pearl’s authenticity."
