World’s Biggest Pearl, Worth $100 Million, Found Under Fisherman's Bed

Description

This huge pearl, estimated to be worth over $100 million, was found by an unnamed fisherman 10 years ago during a storm off the coast of Palawan island in the Philippines. Not knowing its value, he kept it under his bed as a good luck charm. Only after his house burnt down did he show the pearl to other people, and found out how much it was worth. Now the record breaking two-foot long, 75 pound pearl is on display at the Puerto Princesa City Hall on Palawan island.
