Mother-of-pearl is the nacreous inner shell coating of pearl-producing mollusks. These creatures have three layers to their shell; the outermost periostracum, followed by a layer of calcite and then the innermost layer is nacre (Mother of Pearl). Mother of Pearl has had many uses throughout history from jewelry, inlay work, buttons, carvings, and decorative items. This soothing motherly gem can be found all around.
