On Sakhalin, in the lagoon of Busse, a local resident discovered an oyster, which brought a real surprise. A record number of pearls were found inside it — as many as 45 pieces, the telegram channel OstroVau reports today, July 30! Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands."

A resident of the island, collecting oysters in the lagoon, was amazed when one of the shells was opened. Instead of the usual few pearls, there was a whole scattering of mother-of-pearl jewelry inside.

"This record-breaking oyster was simply stuffed with pearls. We went through it all and stopped being surprised when we had already counted ten pearls. As a result, there were 45 of them," said the author of the video.

It is worth noting that usually no more than 5-7 pearls are found in oysters. The same clam exceeded all expectations.
