It is very common to hear interesting stories about fishermen who found various treasures on the coast or brought them out of the sea with seines and nets. For example, almost 10 years ago a fisherman found a giant pearl.
For him, it was a unique discovery, and the man decided that nature itself had given him a lucky charm. Fishermen are very sensitive to these gifts and believe they have a special and sacred meaning. He kept it under his own bed because he just couldn’t find another better option.
When his house was engulfed in flames and he rushed to extract everything he could from it, this gem, one of the greatest in the world, became known to others.
A Filipino fisherman, engaged in his usual activities, caught a huge clam. When he opened it, he discovered a pearl weighing 34 kilograms. At this point, its value could be close to $100,000,000. Who knows, it could be a lot more because there is no official information about it yet.
After the fire in his house, the man decided to place the object in the hands of his aunt. She was one of the specialists in the state tourist service. It was this woman who told me that about 10 years ago her nephew went fishing, and during the trip, the boat got caught in a storm.
As it was tossed from side to side by the waves, the anchor snagged on something on the bottom. It was a huge seashell. When he went down to the bottom to unhook the anchor, he saw the giant clam and decided to take it with him.
Since the man had no idea of ​​the approximate price of the pearl, he did not approach various organizations with the aim of profiting from the sale. All family members who have seen the item have been stunned and are now waiting for the pearl to be authenticated and certified.
This will help determine the most accurate value, approximate age, and other distinguishing features. Scientists gave this discovery the title of princess, because it is one of the largest pearls in terms of parameters, just like the mollusk with which it was « made ».
It is a precious treasure of the Philippine islands, which today is visited by tourists and scientists from all over the world. According to the latest figures, this giant pearl is recognized as the largest in the world. Its weight and size exceed the parameters of its predecessor, the Pearl of Allah.
For many years, it has been the delight of specialists from various countries who have never found the slightest equivalent. He was lifted from the day about 78 years ago with a weight of 6 kg and 400 g. The value of the jewel reaches 30,000,000 dollars.
Imagine that such treasures lie at the bottom of the ocean, hidden in its depths when only a few percent have been explored.
Could it be that the remaining 90-95% contains much more than scientists could have imagined? We can only guess, speculate and hope that there will soon be more stories about such findings in the media.
