The largest and most expensive pearl ever to be found is known as the "Pearl of Lao Tzu," although it is sometimes referred to as "The Pearl of Allah." It measures 9.45 inches in diameter and weighs 14.1lbs. It is approximately 31,893.5 carats. The pearl itself is valued at nearly 60 Million dollars and was extracted from a giant clam off the coast of Palawan in 1934 by a Filipino diver. It was given to an American (Wilburn Cobb), as a token of gratitude for his life saving measures of the Palawan Village Chief's son. The pearl has had many potential buyers, but currently remains in the ownership of the Pearl For Peace foundation, a charitable organization.
