Do clams live to be "several hundred years"? I dunno. "It was then planted in successively larger clams for generations."

"According to legend, the pearl was lost in a shipwreck centuries ago, then found in 1934 off Palawan Island in the Philippines by a diver who drowned when he reached into a huge clam to take it."

The only way to open a clam is to kill it. My uncle is a marine bioligist who runs a clam farm. Can't be around people like that without picking up tidbits of info.
