Manwife was just eating a mussel, and found a tiiiiny pearl in it. Do mussels make pearls, or had this one mugged someone? It's definitely a little pearl, about 3mm diameter.

I once found a tiny tiny crab in a clam.
I decided not to eat it.
edit: the crab, that is. I ate the clam.

It's just an inorganic/protein coating they give to bits of sand. A lot of molluscs can do it, just oysters do it better. Fresh-water pearls come from fresh-water mussles.
