Another 1982 appraisal, by Lee Sparrow who closely-held a gem laboratory and appraisal business within the Phelan Building in san francisco, put the pearl at $42,000,000. In America, the pearl was exhibited at the Ripley's Odditorium in Newyork, valued at $35,000,000.The Palawan patrician, a five-pound non-nacreous pearl then thought of the second largest, was offered at auction by Bonhams and Butterfields of los angeles on December six, 2009. calculable to fetch between $300,000 to $400,000, it passed unsold.
