Hundred Dollar Pearl Found in White River at Rockford
A Rockford youth Pollard Able found a 23 grain freshwater pearl while opening mussels last Tuesday. The gem is nearly round with color, valued around 100 dollars and potentially three times higher when mounted. His father also earlier found a blue pearl of similar note near White River. The story recounts wealth from local mussel beds, the Pearl buyer George Butterworth visiting every two years, and prior discoveries by Pollard Abel's father.
