If you are a pearl lover, you'll be fascinated to learn about the enormous six-ton green 'pearl' on sale in China. This 5 foot tall 'pearl' is so large that two people can hug it and their arms will not touch!

This 6 ton pearl is worth $331 million US dollars and was found in Inner Mongolia. It made its public appearance in southern China's Wenchang City, Hainan Province. Those who discovered it spent three years grinding and polishing the raw gem of the pearl into its current round shape. It is comprised of mostly fluorite mineral and emits a gentle glow in the darkness and sets the world record for the largest luminous pearl.

This luminous and shining stone is known as Chintamani, which is a wish fulfilling jewel in the Buddhist religion. The traditional Chintamani ritual is done while one carries the jewel and recites a prayer.
