I'm thinking maybe I need to cut it open or candle it and find out if there is foreign material that started the pearl.
Could be a whole new industry waiting to happen: We live catch beavers; inject their hide with some grains of sand or whatever, and then dead-catch them after the pearls are big enough!
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Well Carl, I have found those in several beaver. I don't remember where I caught them, good chance one was from the Willamette. I used to ask biologists about things like that, and got few answers that I trusted. I suspect it is a calcified growth around something, like a thorn tip. Just a guess though.

I suspect it is a calcified growth around something, like a thorn tip. Just a guess though. My thoughts exactly. Could be a little piece of barbed wire that the growth formed around. Or maybe a steel shot pellet that triggered the growth.

I have a big, movable knob on my left knee, just below the kneecap. When I was in 4th Grade a kid stabbed me there with a pencil and the lead broke off. Lots of calcification on it but you can still see the little black spot in the middle of it. It's a real bugger when I kneel on a hard surface.
Moosetrot Uh oh, did this happen at a school in northern Indiana around 1979, and is your name Danny? If so, I apologize moosetrot. I was not fully in control of my emotions in fourth grade. But in all fairness I plainly told you what was going to happen if you stepped on my fingers again next time my pencil fell between our desks, but you didn’t listen…

In 1979 I was out of High School for 8 years. It happened at St. Mary's Catholic grade school in Pewaukee, WI....about 3 years before I got kicked out. If you would have stabbed me with a pencil in 1979 we may have had an "issue". LOL! I don't think any of us were fully in control of anything in 4th Grade... Moosetrot
