An irreplaceable museum quality artifact with historical and
legendary significance
According to legend, the PEARL was cultivated in China by Lao Tzu using a small carved jade amulet with the faces of the ancient three friends, Buddha, Confuscious and himself around 600 BC. The Pearl became a symbol of world peace by demonstrating that the three sages with differing views can live peacefully side by side in this magnificent PEARL. For centuries it was known as the PEARL of LAO TZU.
A famous date in world history, the PEARL was rediscovered May 7, 1934 inside a tridacna clam by a muslim tribe in the Philippines. The tribal chief renamed it the pearl of god or the PEARL of ALLAH. This is documented with photos in Natural History, November 1939, the magazine of the American Museum of Natural History.
Certified as the World's Largest Pearl,
replicas of the PEARL have been on display at major world museums. |
