All the people that are wondering if the pearls are real, of course they are real and finding that many in a freshwater clam that big is normal. Those are real clams that you see her cutting into to get at the pearls. The older the clam, the more time it has to develop more pearls and larger sizes of pearls. These are likely not cultured pearls because obviously she is finding them out in the wild. Freshwater pearls like these are not worth as much as saltwater pearls and natural formed pearls are worth more than cultured ones most of the time. Freshwater clams like these can grow upwards of 50 pearls or more in its life cycle while saltwater clams can only make 1 or 2 which is why saltwater pearls are worth more due to their rarity. The worth of a pearl varies depending on what kind of clam or oyster grows it, size, shape, color and luster. The nacre that the clam secrets and how evenly it coats the foreign object to form a tighter structure of a pearl effects the worth by a lot. Most pearls are low or average quality so freshwater pearls like these are not worth too much. You can buy a freshwater pearl necklace made of natural pearls like these for anywhere between 100 to 200 dollars or so. If they are cultured meaning the pearls are farmed by placing something like a bead inside the clam, its worth even less in most cases. Generally, pearls from oysters are worth more and are what farmers usually use to culture pearls. Most jewelry made from pearl are from oysters. The sad thing is that this lady is killing all these clams for pearls that are not worth very much. It's pure greed like this that pretty much destroys the planet. She doesn't even eat the clams meat which is a total waste.

This is not “waking it up” this is killing it Edit: y’all so mad over this comment I was simply saying she wasn’t waking it up like she said In the title I really don’t care that much if it dies bro-

Now where’s the giant 100 years old clam from the thumbnail

Reminds me of the guy digging giant nuggets of gold that were just spray painted rocks.

Surely if it was that easy there would be more people doing it. Sad to see these poor creatures destroyed for vanity

it's amazing how the mussel also knows how to dye the pearls too! ;)

While oysters can hold between 10-20 pearls, the odds of an oyster having any pearls is 1 in 10,000

The fact that we don’t see her find pearls without a convenient jump cut after she opens the clams has me suspicious.

The fact that those clams were so big and had so many pearls inside means they must have been really old. It’s depressing to see you kill them so mercilessly 😢

By the way, did you know how a pearl forms? It happens when bacteria enters between the mantle and it's shell, many cells in the mantle secreates layers of calcium carbonate. It's keep doing this until bacteria can't escape. This is how clams, mussels, oysters, scallops, and other molluscs protect themselves from bacteria. To protect it's internal organs. The coating of calcium carbonate around the bacteria leads to a formation of a pearl!

PERFECTLY rounded magenta natural "pearls"....... in CLAMS, ...... above water. Wow!! Edit: ....and more that ONE

From a professional point of view, there will not be so many pearls of the same number, same color and same shape in one shell. It is fake. To be honest, it is a bit boring. I would rather see those real picking videos, which at least can make me happy. Learn the real thing!

Это не устрицы, это речные молюски. В них никогда не бывает ровновного жемчуга. Речной жемчуг всегда не повный, только морской ( у жемчужниц) бывает ровный и круглый. Но и больше одной жемчужины, это редкость. Да и не бывает натуральный жемчуг такого цвета. Бред...

Can't wait to see the video where she'll pull out the pearls already strung up with a clasp! And maybe already in a gift box with a bow!

Those are glass marbles - you can hear it when they clank together. Pearls are pretty soft they wouldn’t make such a sound

They are the most round pearls that sounds like marbles, really who do you think you’re fooling? 😂

Aww a living creature that old deserves to live ❤

어떻게 진주가 저렇게 하나같이 완벽한 구 모양일수가..ㅋㅋ 게다가 자주색 진주는 색깔 차이도 없어 다 똑같애..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I know you all are really happy to see this but those pearls are fake there is no way that the pearls are gonna be that bright of a purple you can find those at the dollar tree

For those saying you can’t find that many pearls in 1 oyster, you can. They’re just not formed completely naturally. They are “seeded” to grow this many

I fail to see the joy in destroying a clam that has lived for a hundred years 💔 😢

it would be a smart idea to make a small insersion to get the pears so the oyster won't die continuously making more pearls

How lucky this girl was! Good idea that she took the cameraman with her to make this... documentation (?).. 🤣

The oyster is so much more valuable than the pearl and it is a real shame that most of us will not see this until it's too late.

Cultured pearls can have their own natural color, which can be white, black, gold, pink, lavender, or blue, depending on the color of the mollusk’s lip, the outer part of the shell1. Pearl colors can also be treated to alter their appearance, with the most common treatment being dyeing, which is more common with freshwater pearls than saltwater pearls i googled it so all of yall can stop hating now because colored pearls are real.

I was wondering if these creatures survived after extracting the pearl, but seeing the way this woman viciously sliced open the shell and roughly pressed the inside membranes to force out the pearls.... I sadly have my answer. 😥

To be fair My son told me the sad story of how these pearls are made Inside the clam ..it's amazing how beautiful things can sine from sadness and it's a shame the clams don't get to keep their pearls after how they are made

Natural pearls ARE NOT perfectly round and as far as I know they don't come in that shade of purple.

I’ve seen clips of pearl farms, I think they were, where they could open the clams, oysters or whatever, in such a way as to not kill them. Then they were returned to make new pearls. Did she at least take them home to eat?

For all the people out there wondering if this is true or not: of course you can find a huge claim with perfectly round different colored pearls like that😑

29 Million views brought you great wealth. Way to manifest, Pearl Girl!

Natural fresh water pearls are rarely perfectly round. Explain.

Fun fact, clams produce pearls as a response to an irritant within their shell. It is a defence mechanism to try and protect themselves from the irritant. So to make a pearl, you've got to put the clam under the stress of a threat to their comfort and safety, and at the end of the clam's life span of trying to fight off whatever it is that shouldn't be there, the clam just gets killed and it's defences are harvested and seen as a beauty. Pretty cruel if you ask me

А я однажды достал из такой раковины золотую цепь, браслет , золотые Ролекс и ключи от BMW M8.

Это просто не реально таких цветов жемчюга не бывает .че́рный .золотой .малиновый.это просто не реально

Now that you've shown us the "process of collecting pearls outdoors", please show us how to do the same indoors.

Ain't no way in hell one small haul is going to yield a shitload of valuable pearls. This is fake as f.

I liked the color of the pearl❤

and look, mikimoto has already visited the clam so the pearls come out perfectly round. and what an amazing colour too. btw, does anybody want to buy a unicorn horn i'm selling?

There’s an extraction method DIY without killing “ the hen of golden eggs” seen in UKposts,operation is on a table clams are put on position and using tongs pearls are extracted,clams put back on where they were found

I am amazed that they are all perfectly spherical and the size is unbelievable. They appear to be planted.

I wonder whether [those are steel balls plating with various colors and inserted into those oysters through a small cutting line, then the oysters can cure themselves] or not ? If so, just let me know.

I was waiting for her to find gold coins and gold nuggets in there... and a day pass to disneyland.

What I learned about pearls is that they are never complete round and smooth until polished. Makes me wonder if this video is real

سبحان الخالق العظيم الله أكبر لا اله الا الله يخرج منهما اللؤلؤ والمرجان هذا خلق الله افلا تتدبرون

Xero Does it kill the creature when the pearls are extracted ? I only ask because in your statement you say that Oysters can produce multitudes of pearls throughout its lifetime. If that was scientifically true , what do they spit amount out themselves throughout their lifetime ?

Fun fact: you can collect them without harming the oyster but it’s harder to do.

It would be fun hunting for clams to find their pearls, but I have shellfish allergies

구라도 이런구라가 없네 ... 자연에서 나오는 진주가 저렇게 완벽한 원이라고 ...??

The fact that she knew they were sleeping for over a hundred years and chose to get the pearls anyway

Für die ausschließlich deutschsprachigen Schauer in Kürze: Die Muscheln werden nicht "geweckt" sondern getötet. Die Perlen haben kaum einen Wert, dass Fleisch ist nicht essbar und die Muschen haben eine erhebliche ökologischen Bedeutung. 😢 Es gibt andere Wege die Perlen aus diesen alten Lebewesen zu Ernten, ohne die Muscheln zu töten. Entsprechende Videos hier auf UKposts

All of the terrible comments below. You don't know how these people live and don't know the worth to her and her family. More power to her.

Красивые пластиковые шарики достаёт из ракушек🤣🤣🤣

word around the world is pearls are never so round, so perfectly round

Am I. The only one who feels.bad for the clam

"I awakened the pearl clam that had been sleeping for a hundred years" IT'S MURDERING MA'AM

What infuriates me more is she’s taking the pearls from nature, and not eating the oysters.

I hope that y'all eat the damn clam because if you don't that's a damn waste😢

Killing it was so unnecessary. Pearls can be extracted without harming the oyster.

Y’all know this is fake right? The average size of a pearl is the size of a pea! It’s SOOOOOOOOOOOO rare to get pearls that big and there is no way she found all those pearls that size in one clam! It’s actually not even possible.

They're beautiful, but that's just barbaric. 😢

I hope that she is collecting the flesh of these clams to feed the family and not waste it!

These pearls do not look like real freshwater pearls. This kind of pond butterfly clam can produce pearls, but the pearls produced in this clam are, firstly, too regular. Natural pearls or cultured pearls do not have a bead core implanted. It is rare that there are so many perfect circles. Second, the diameter of these pearls is very large. Normally, there are large and small pearls in a shell. Many of the pearls here are the same size. Thirdly, the color of the pearls, these purple pearls, are very strange in color, with only pure color without iridescence and accompanying colors. White pearls also look a lot like plastic imitation pearls.

There is a friendlier way to do it. You can just keep the clams alive and put some sand in their mouths to get more pearls. (Although that's just what I've heard tho. I don't really know much about clams)

If ppl were wondering these clams were planted with beads and as time goes on the beads start to get covered in calcium carbonate which then are turned into pearls. These clams aren't dead btw when they are planted with beads.

I'm actually impressed by that, how much effort and work someone put into making such a fake lie thing.

Bless you. :)

Isn't life more important than pearls

That is cultured pearl harvesting - it is a business. Families have streams they own just for this, so don't get too upset.

Мне нравятся твои видео ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉✨😍

Obviously i couldn't look away....but why didn't the cameraman stop this murderous rampage???

Amazing how these painted ball bearings come in 3 standard sizes. Even the pearl coloured ones have standard sizes, although you can tell those are actually plastic because of the different sound they make clinking together than the coloured metal ones.

Как она не боится промывать жемчуг? 79 штук белых и 14 фиолетовых, это целое состояние.

Guys even if “maybe” it isn’t naturally made people still can farm clams to be their wanted colour

She is rich - the value of these pearls is from $300 - $1500 each - I googled it

im not convinced it's real. perfectly round-shaped pearls are very rare. and she just happened to stumble upon 4 clams that not only have pearls, but lots of pearls, and lots of round pearls.

It is not true.

So she is the first person in that creek in a hundred years

I'm 53 at my only bucket list that I have is to have my emails again.And be surrounded by bunch of clams, so I can find Pearls.I have always wanted to find April's girlose.Pearls i'm willing to work hard finally

I once found a fully stringed clutch of benoit ball pearls in a clam.

I am horrified to see how a living creature can be killed in a few seconds just to get to some mere pearls..What if humans produced anything like this? 😢😢

Ce qui serait intéressant c'est de voir comments ils font pour glisser les perles dans la pauvre bestiole avant la vidéo What would be interesting is to see how they managed to slip the pearls into the poor creature before the video

The only problem with any pearl is that get hair spray near it and it totally dissolves. With jewelry it's the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off when dressing up with your good jewelry. These are beautiful tho.

She is killing what could be a renewable resource for future pearls!

The color red does not occur naturally in any pearl species, and pearls are actually enhanced through an organic dyeing process.

Could you imagine the pot of New England style clam chowder that couldve been produced from the discarded shell fish. Surely there are potates, butter and cream around there somewhere. Knowing the resourcefulness, ingenuity, and culinary prowless of the Asian people, I can only surmise that the beautiful clam meat eventually found its way to a wok and then some hungry, grateful mouths!

People who thought she would find a gigant pearl by the profile of the video.😂Whe need more peoples like you!🤣🤣

To je škody,je mě líto těch škeblí!!!! ……???????😢

❤ الله اكبر ❤ سبحان الله و بحمده سبحان الله العظيم❤ استغفر الله العظيم الذي لا اله الا هو الحي القيوم واتوب اليه صلى الله على نبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى اله وصحبه و سلم تسليما كثيرا ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Looks like those pearls where seeded, and not naturally formed. It's very common in in pearl farms to jam marbles into the clams, and wait for a few months.

Its weird how dead already the clam looks before she 'harvests'. I eat shellfish, and if you open their shell like that, they still move around. Those ones were already dead which makes me think they had those 'pearls' inserted

Я тоже так хочу: купить 1 кг китайских бусин, засунуть их в ракушки, раскидать по болоту и пойти спать. Наутро надеть сапоги и пойти на болото. Потом радоваться как последний дурак, что нашел моллюсков с "жемчугом" внутри.

I can't see any iridescence on those pearls, which is usually unique to natural pearls, that's what makes them so beautiful.

This was barbaric. There’s a way to get the pearls without killing and brutalizing them. She was so proud of herself and felt no remorse for shredding it to pieces

Jeez! Huge! In the freshwater! By the way, what are those pearls for themselves biologically/ecologically?

Hey everyone I remember Billy Graham all returns to God and The earth. I’m an NDEr and God can raise the dead I have witnessed it for years. You can heal by sending love and you can raise the dead by speaking life and The Hebrew letter Chet. Also please keep our sweet animals doggies and kitties in prayer we love them and believe prayer changes things. Lots of love for everyone’s highest good.

Love the purple pearls👍🏻 so beautiful

Мне очень жалко этих существ,просто до слез. Как жестоко она орудует ножом,сколько радости вызывает у нее убийство беззащитного существа.

the only thing that's real about this video is that it really did bring her a great wealth, she got 30 m views worth of ad revenue after all

It's easy to say that's cruel, let it live, etc, when you live the life of luxury
