Rare Melo Pearl: The Most Expensive Pearl
A Thai truck driver claims he has found a rare orange Melo pearl inside seafood,
Monthian Jansuk, 40, paid 50 baht (£1.20) for the 'apple snail' shell from a market near his home in Chonburi province, Thailand,
Melo pearls are naturally occurring gems produced under the shell of a large sea snail species known as Melo Melo.
The gems are formed when an irritant gets under the snail's shell, causing the animal to produce secretions to reduce its discomfort.
Over several years the layers of secretions form a Melo pearl.
The pearls range from brown to yellow or orange, depending on the colour of the snail shell the gem was grown in.
Orange Melo pearls appear in only one of every several thousand shells, meaning these gems fetch the highest prices.
