The Most Expensive Blog (The home of World's Most Expensive and Luxury) presents World’s Most Expensive Pearl.
True pearls are always formed within the mantles of oysters and other shelled mollusks. In general, perfectly circular, iridescent pearls are the most prized, but other shapes are possible.
In late 2010, a 5-foot, six ton “pearl” was unveiled in China. This gem, while magnificent and quite valuable, was obviously not produced by any clam. Indeed, it is composed of fluorite and was ground into a pearl shape over the course of three years after the enormous gem’s discovery in Mongolia. The gem is valued at a staggering £88 million (US $139 million).
The most expensive genuine pearl in the world is likely the Pearl of Lao Tzu, also known as the Pearl of Allah. Despite its unappealing shape, this pearl is valued at $3.5 million due to its astounding size. At 9.45 inches in diameter and just over 14 lbs, it is the largest pearl ever discovered. It was formed within a giant clam, which accounts for its dull surface as clams produce no nacre—the iridescent substance also known as “mother of pearl.”
The Pearl of Lao Tzu was first discovered in the Philippines and was brought to America in 1939.
