Do pearls wash ashore?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) May 5th, 2010

When an oyster dies of natural causes, and contains a pearl, will that oysters shell eventually open and out pop its pearl?

Shouldn’t the seabed have pearls down there then just laying about? Might they roll ashore like an errant seashell?
