A man in Chonburi got a pleasant surprise while cooking his dinner. He found a rare and valuable Melo pearl that could be worth more than one million baht inside a clam that he was about to eat.

 

The man, Mr. Amorn Prakongkwan, a 54-year-old owner of a paint shop, told The Pattaya News that he was cooking dinner for his family when a round object fell out of a clam he was boiling. Upon further examination, he discovered that it was a shiny, round object that appeared to be a very rare Melo pearl.

 

Melo pearls are unique and highly valued because of their rarity and distinctive appearance. They are formed inside the Melo volute, a large sea snail that can be found in the shallow waters of Thailand. Melo pearls are only produced by a small percentage of Melo volutes, making them much rarer than other types of pearls.

The way I read this is that a clam he was boiling had, during its life, eaten a giant sea snail containing the presumed pearl. Was this a giant clam?

It is not worth one million Baht. It is worth what a potential buyer offers and is accepted by the seller.
