Coconut pearl

The ''coconut pearl'' is alleged to be a coconut-produced gemstone. Claimed to be the rarest botanical gem in the world, the coconut pearl supposedly grows inside the coconut.〔Reginald Child. "Coconuts". 2nd ed. London: Longman Group Ltd. 1974.〕 However, the existence of these pearls is in dispute, and some claim that published photos are hoaxes.
''Wayne's Word'', the source of much of the descriptive text and photographs used to illustrate coconut pearls on the Internet, writes that "several botany textbooks flatly state that coconut pearls are a hoax because proof of their existence is totally unfounded" and "I prematurely published an on-line note about this "pearl" (Maharaja coconut pearl, on display at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables, Florida'' ) in 1996 before I discovered that it did not come from a coconut."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Coconut Pearl )〕 They form in roughly one in every million coconuts according to the Ripley's believe it or not daily calendar.
