    I found a purple pearl in a clam I was eating-The Quahog Thread

    There's a nice-looking 11.5mm on eBay right now, but it's sure not going for 87 bucks even for just the one! ;) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140284705264 I'm SURE they couldn't get such perfectly matched pairs in any kind of quantity. More likely wampum "pearls". Gotta...

    I found a purple pearl in a clam I was eating-The Quahog Thread

    I see that advertising is not allowed here, but is asking if anyone is willing to sell? (If not, I suppose no one is likely to see this. :o ) I am a Rhode Island native and resident. In all the years my parents dove for quahogs to make their own clam chowder, they never found a pearl, so I...
