According to a report in the local Palawan News, a man in the Philippines was out fishing when his anchor caught on something.
Upon swimming down to dislodge it, he found a giant clam harboring an enormous pearl. The man decided to keep the pearl - which measures in at 1-foot wide, 2.2-feet long, and weighs an astonishing 75 pounds - as a good luck token, which he later entrusted to his aunt after a fire destroyed his home.
If authenticated, the pearl - said to be the biggest natural clam pearl in the world - could be worth $100 million.
