A fisherman found the largest pearl in the world in the Philippines
News24xx.com - A pearl thought to be the world’s largest has been found in Palawan, Philippines. That pearl was kept by a fisherman for years and only recently put on public display.
The fisherman found the gigantic pearl 10 years ago while fishing in the waters of Puerto Princesa, the city capital of Palawan.
He then kept it under his bed for “good luck,” and not really knowing about the economic value of that pearl.
BBC noted, the pearl measures 30 x 60 cm (12 x 24 inches) and weighs 34 kg, or just under 75 pounds is expected to beat the current record-holder, the Pearl of Allah/Lao Tzu, which weighs 6.4 kg.
The Pearl of Allah/Lao Tzu was found in the 1930s, also in Palawan. Because gemologists appraised it at tens of millions of dollars, the pearl looks to be a really good catch.
For now, the new pearl kept in the atrium of the New Green City Hall in Puerto Princesa, making its days under the bed finally over.
