Famed for its shimmering beauty the world over, iridescent shell known as mother of pearl is the organic/inorganic material lining the inside of a mollusk’s shell.
Mother of pearl is the common name for iridescent nacre, a blend of minerals that are secreted by oysters and other mollusks and deposited inside their shells, coating and protecting their bodies from parasites and foreign objects.
A pearl grows when mother of pearl surrounds and builds layers around an object that's inserted in the shell by nature or humans. Care should be taken when working with the shell due to its fragility.
