A Mississauga, Ont., man has unveiled something few people in the world have ever seen: what could be the world's biggest natural pearl. The pearl weighs 27.65 kilograms, four times the weight of the Lao-Tzu Pearl, also called the Pearl of Allah, which until recently was thought to be the world's largest. His family didn't know it was worth anything — didn't even know it was a pearl. Some of them are even in gardens… some of them had abnormalities that they didn't know were pearls," said Reyes. "There's no other recorded example of such a massive giant pearl that's even remotely close to this piece," said Wu.
