Mother of Pearl
What exactly is mother of pearl?
Mother of pearl is an organic gemstone and refers to the iridescent lining that’s found in the inner surface of a nacre-producing mollusc’s shell. Another term for mother of pearl is nacre, which is the substance that forms pearls
Mother of pearl is made of aragonite, a type of calcium carbonate, formed by the pearl oyster, as well as freshwater pearl mussels and abalone. Nacre is secreted by the mollusc as a defence mechanism against irritants and abrasions that find their way into the shell. Over time, the creature secretes layers of nacre which smoothen the surface of the shell and entombs any irritants that cling to the inner surface of the shell.
Although often used interchangeably, mother of pearl and abalone are quite different.
• Abalone is a type of marine snail, also known as a marine gastropod mollusc. It’s famous for its delicious taste and beautiful shell.
