A Pennsylvania man on vacation in Delaware found a surprise in his clam appetizer: a purple pearl.

Scott Overland was dining in Rehoboth Beach when he bit down on something hard in a $14 clam appetizer.

“This was actually most of the way through the bowl of clams and I felt just something hard as I ate one of them, and at first I thought it was a shell or something like that and then when I looked at it it was purple, so that was kind of unusual,” Mr. Overland told Delmarva Peninsula NBC affiliate WRDE-TV.
