滄海遺珠 「四字熟語」
滄海遺珠 「そうかいのいしゅ」
I saw this expression in a book and did a search here at Jisho. No results, seems to be a hard to find yojijukugo, maybe some obscure form of sorts.
Through JP dictionary sites i found this definition:

世に知られずに埋もれている立派な人物や有能な人材。
「滄海」は大海のこと。
「遺珠」は採集に失敗した真珠のこと。
海の中でどこにあるかわからずに埋もれてしまった真珠にたとえた言葉。
As a free translation, I would define the word as [ A person of extraordinary talent unbeknownst to the world.]
