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

[Caitlin]

I never heard if it sold. If it did, it did not make headlines anywhere so it must have been sold for a fraction of the original price- or it is still not sold. I think it was Antoinette Matlins who had the inside track on that.

LINK This already sold, but It is worth a look.

At first look I thought it sold also, but sez 0 bids, and lists the seller as lakefrontcreations. Am thinking $8,000 is pretty steep.

If it had sold on ebay, it would help establish a market price. I agree this is excessively high priced. This one is pretty, and a good size, but very light colored. It is far more than I would be willing to pay for such a fragile kind of pearl.
