Pearl in Oyster its purplish grey???

I found a pearl in an fried oyster last night they were fresh shucked by me and my friend. Well I bit down in the first one and crunch well I pulled it out and it isnt very big but about the size of a small english pea, or sweet pea. It is purplish black in color with a little iridecent color too. I was wondering how I could find out if its worth anything, also do you need to polish these to make jewelry out of them? Who would I show it to to find out if it would in fact be worth something. I appreciate any help and thank you in advance.
