Possibly World's Biggest Pearl Found Under A Bed

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- What's possibly the world's largest pearl was recently found, not in the ocean, but under a bed.

The pearl weighs 75 pounds.

It is more than two feet long and one foot wide.

A fisherman in the Philippines originally found it, but put it under his bed and somehow forgot about it.

Gemologists need to verify its weight and value to confirm it is officially the largest pearl in the world.
