Mother of Pearl is an organic shell material, also known as 'Nacre', characterised by it's pearl like iridescent surface, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer; it is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent
The oyster or mussel slowly secretes layers of aragonite and conchiolin, materials that also make up its shell. This creates the nacre, which encases the irritant and protects the mollusc from it.
