Oldest Pearl Found By Stanford Student
A pearl estimated at 5,000,000 years old, said to be the oldest of its kind, was found by Stanley C. Herold, a Stanford University student from San Francisco. The oyster shell with the pearl, embedded in geologic material from the Washington coast, was disinterred by paleontologists and passed to Stanford Museum. Authorities deem the gem itself of little value, though the oyster likely originated in the paleosele period.
