[Racsr]

Would anyone be interested in purchasing a 17 carat coho pearl I found in 2000 came from Narragansett Bay Rhode Island.

At a minimum the pearl does not appear to be cooked. To your thread title, the large size and relative symmetry may serve to attract a collector, say in the $50/$100 per carat range (if not then you're better off keeping it as a memento). The pearl does not offer the depth of color, even surface quality/luster or other optical attraction (such as flame) that would elevate it to gem quality and the big bucks.

To your message, this is not a buyer/seller forum. But if a member is interested they could PM you.

Thank you I never thought I’d get rich off of it. Just wondering what it would get if someone was interested
