In a bizarre incident, a woman in the US found a very rare pearl worth $600 in her seafood dish while dining at an Italian restaurant. Lindsay Hasz and her husband were recently enjoying an evening when they decided to dine at Montalcino Ristorante Italiano in Issaquah, Washington.

Hasz ordered the frutti di mare, a traditional Italian medley of seafood and shellfish. Then she bit into something unexpected.

"It was quite jarring. In fact, I thought I almost broke my tooth it was so hard," she was quoted as saying by KOMO-TV.

Inside the meat of a clam on her dish she found what looked like a pearl. "I thought maybe it was an earring from an employee in the kitchen and it fell into my dish," Hasz said.

She did not tell the restaurant and took the item home to do more research. Hasz matched the deep purple sphere against pictures she found online and found news articles of people finding what looked like a Quahog purple pearl in their food.
