You heard that Indians would find pearls in clams is this true?
Native Americans may have found "pearls" in clams, but those were not "pearls" as we would consider them today. Clams are non-nacreous mollusks and do not produce actual pearls. They produce what are known as "calcareous concretions", which lack the pearly luster associated with pearls as we know them. More likely, Native Americans found pearls in mussels not clams. Those that were near coastal areas may have also found and collected marine pearls, but not from clams.

Are razor clams sharp?
The short answer is "no". The Longer AnswerEvery mollusk can theoretically grow natural pearls. But pearls from mollusks such as clams are very rare, and they are not actually considered pearls. Clams are not nacreous so they do not excrete the combination of aragonite and calcite known as nacre which is the building block of pearls. Their excretions instead are known as calcareous concretions. These "pearls" are not usually of much value and only hold a place in the collectors' market.
