What would you do if someone told you they saw an image of the Virgin Mary on a turtle shell necklace--and it brought them serious cash? If you're a priest in San Diego, you may want to come up with a response, like, now, because you've about to get hit up for some advice:

Call it luck or call it a miracle -- either way, ever since Jackie Seiler noticed the image of the Virgin Mary on a Hawaiian necklace she sells in her clothing shop, business has been good.

As the 73-year-old National City shop owner tried hawking a turtle necklace last month, a mother who was looking for a trinket for her daughter waived it off as too large. Seiler, who owns Hawaiian Clothing, took a closer look at the adornment and became baffled.

"Is that what I think it is?" she said to the customer.

Upon closer inspection, Seiler made out the small image resembling Our Lady of Guadalupe. A head, a halo, the shroud and the collar are depicted on a small shell affixed the body of the turtle. Coloring on the shell looks as though rays of light are shining on the image.

"The same day I found it I had a $1,000 sale," Seiler said adding the figure was unusual since her highest sale at her Transportation Avenue location was $300 in one day. Sales continue to average more than $500 a day.

"I'm going to take it to a church and ask the priest what I should do with it," she said.

Too bad it wasn't an image of the late Pope John Paul II--sounds like the Vatican could use an extra miracle or two.
