What a pretty color! I would have a hard time parting with a pearl I had found. No question, I'd be keeping it-- cooked or uncooked!

Well, a nice size and pretty color! I don't think clams steam for very long, could be as little as 5 minutes, according to the recipes I checked!
I would put it in a ring or something. Good luck!

so many pearls, so little time

Lovely pearl - I like that the color is quite saturated. Not that it's worth much, but I wouldn't part with it. Way too precious even if it's not worth much in monetary terms.

That's a great color! Looks good enough to eat -- like a shiny jelly belly.

Are they always purple or just usually purple?
