This funny family was found all together inside of an unusually big Tridacna clam by a local fisherman, in the Sea of Molucca. The transluscent clam pearls are from 0.2 to 2.5 ct. and Boko itself weighs nearly 100 ct. There were more small pearls but the fisherman didn't pick them all. Technically we could call this object a natural baroque porcellaneous pearl!?

Cute. Not what I would normally call a pearl, but it does look like a dino with her eggs.
