https://gma.yahoo.com/tennessee-woman-discovers-50-pearls-biting-oyster-161358323--abc-news-lifestyle.htmlA Tennessee woman is 50 pearls richer today after discovering the jewels when she bit into an oyster while lunching at Puckett's Boat House in Franklin, Tennessee.
Toni Elliot, 53, thought she hurt her tooth Thursday and alerted her server Eric Horton, the restaurant's general manager Greg Hargest told ABC News today.
"I went over to see if she was okay, and she goes, 'Oh yes, I just found this pearl in my mouth!'" Hergest said. "She started pulling out more pearls from her mouth, and the whole table started laughing."
Elliot then picked at the oyster and discovered dozens of more baby pearls inside, Hergest said.

(20,176 posts)4. Those ones? Not much.
They're irregular-shaped and small so they don't have a lot of value. Pearls are not scarce...jewelry-quality pearls are scarce.

In a non-scientific sort of way.
