    What you have sounds just like a sample of oyster shell with a human
    started mobe pearl in it that I own. It is extremely unlikely that
    the pearl part is natural. If you cut into the shell from the back
    side of where the pearl is, I'm pretty certain you'll see the
    starter piece inside. I don't think they have a lot of value except
    as display pieces (that's what I use mine as).
