Theoretically every bivalve could be albe to produce pearls, for this reason every single pearl created by a bivalve – independently of the typology – is called “Clam pearl”; nevertheless these findings have mainly happened with the Meretrix lusoria<\/strong> clam, fished mainly in the North-Eastern coasts of America for its tasty fruit.<\/p>\n
